Moribito II: Guardian of the Darkness by Nahoko Uehashi

5.0

While it took me a little longer to get into the story for this second volume (I already loved the main character, Balsa) I am certainly glad I read it. This book really helps to flesh out Balsa's history. The last half or third of the book flew by and was very compelling reading. I am just so, so sad that they have ceased to translate the rest of this series. I'm saddest because I won't get to continue Balsa's story, but I'm also sad because the translated editions were absolutely beautiful, with some stellar translating, illustration, and graphic design. Sob.
