Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff
4.0
It was a little difficult to get into since it has a lot of Japanese terminology. I'm thankful that the author included a dictionary at the end of the book.
"Stormdancer" is a little different than the books I usually read but it was interesting nonetheless. When I got through the terminology I pretty much couldn't put the book down (in the moments that I got some time to read).
The book is about a young girl Yukiko and her loved ones in a steampunk, Japan-inspired land. Their mission is to capture the last known arashitora - an order from the current Shõgun. Of course, there is a sudden plot twist and change of plans.
Everything is so beautifully described and feels so alive. It's not difficult to imagine the landscapes and creatures throughout the book.
