A review by connie_flower
Brilliance of the Moon by Lian Hearn
2.0
I ended up leaving this book half way through because I got bored of it, and only finished it out of duty - I hate leaving books unfinished. The first two in the Otori series were really good, but this just didn't give a satisfying end to the series. The final enemy in defeated not by the person we're all rooting for to win but by something else, which gives the sense that Hearn was fed up of writing battle scenes and fobbed us off with... well, I'm not saying, but if you've read/ are going to read this you'll know what I mean.
And instead of explaing the ending properly she just gives us a short afterword, again as if she was fed up. I've heard there's another book after this called 'Heaven's Net is Wide', which was never originally intended but came abnout because others were unsatisfied with the ending, which just goes to show that maybe more thought should have been put into this book :(
