This seems at first to be a simple, sweet story, but then it really packs a punch. While I think it will be interesting to see the cleric's story play out of the whole series, the real heart of this book is the story of Rabbit and the Empress. It's beautiful and emotional and incredibly meaningful. I don't have a lot to say because it's so short, but I really loved this book.
