radror 's review for:

The Emperor of Nihon-Ja by John Flanagan
5.0

absolutely wonderful. i can't decide if i like this one or the previous better. actually, this one. what a phenomenal climactic ending to the series with an entire book of suspense and brilliance and switching perspectives: it altogether just had so MUCH to it. god. horace and the emperor make me wanna cry they're so cute like nick miller and the older guy in new girl. and the way we get to see so many past characters, you know he was trying to include everyone. missed gilan and erak and pauline and stuff but still. this was so good for evanlyn and alyss and wow those two are just incredibly badass and so well written and so is clueless will. i liked halt having selethen as well to confer with regarding the younger ones. and the battle tactics in these are just incredible and so clever. happy with the ending too. oh im a happy gal i love this series! didn't cry at the end this time, perhaps just knowing i have the sequel series to look forward to, and my first time reading those! first, the lost stories.
