A review by bleuski50
Emperor of the Eight Islands by Lian Hearn

1.0

The story itself was interesting but the writing was putting me to sleep. I felt like I was reading I record of events rather than reading an actual story. This story encompasses 6 different point-of-views in only 249 pages. It's simply too short to allow the reader to grow an understanding of and connection with the characters. At times, I even struggled to remember who was who.
However, the plot and action has peaked my interest so I do plan on picking on the Autunm Princess sometime in the future.
