This book is a great collection of poetry on healing. The focus on how to really look at internal pain, the growth of a person, and outside forces really made me think about it.

The Nekoma practice game is a favorite of mine because you see both teams start to change for the better. It's really sweet seeing how each can change for the better and be worthy rivals of each other.

I loved the 2nd book just as much as the first!! It had plenty of betrayal, love, and "guess what happens next" all throughout the book! I love this series and definitely starting the 3rd next.

Some of the same general stuff I have heard in other books or other teachers. I'm giving it 2 stars because there were a few things I didn't know about and made a note of.
