f you've seen the Twelve Kingdoms anime series and wondered what in the world was going on in the last story arc, then you should read this book. Beyond that, I don't have much to say. This was an enjoyable piece of fiction. The editing of the Tokyo Pop translation left some things to be desired (e.g., sometimes characters went by multiple names and the wrong name was used given the context), but not so much to significantly impact my enjoyment of the story.i love this series but there is one thing that irks me with this particular volume - the princess (i can't remember her name) & the way she's treated, as if her parent's wrongs were also her wrongs and she should have done something to right them despite the fact she was raised in ignorance (and if memory serves correctly, was not even heir to the throne). that's the nature of ignorance: you're not aware. there is no way she could be expected to learn what her parents were doing (exactly
This book is by far my favourite in the series, absolutely amazing in terms of both plot and (especially!) character development. Which is why I feel it would be unfair to lower my rating because of the quality of the translation/editing, even though it was quite outrageous: whole words and, I hear, in the case of the hardback edition, a whole chapter missing. So there, five stars no thanks to TokyoPop, and I recommend double-checking dubious passages with Eugene Woodbury's online translation.
Finally! The continuation of Yoko's story that I've been waiting for since the first novel. And, it doesn't disappoint. The story is gripping, building the storylines of Yoko, Shoukei and Suzu toward their inevitable intersection and a splendid finale.My only disappointment with the book isn't due to the actual story content, but rather to Tokyopop's release. There is a short chapter missing between chapters 16 and 17. This has been confirmed by Anime News Network, and the missing chapter can be
Popsugar 2020 Reading Challenge: a book with a map, a book told from multiple POVs------------------------I would have rated this much higher if it wasn't for the massive amounts of info-dumping. I've come to accept info-dumping as a common trait of this series, but in this book in particular it seemed especially tedious. Still, a great fantasy setting with solid world-building, and an awesome cast of dynamic characters. I'll try to find the rest of The Twelve Kingdoms books online, and in the
I REALLY liked this, but like others said it does get bogged down with explaining how the world works toward the middle. Just very dense at time with explaining the politics. Which made it lose a star from me.But more Yoko who I love. Two other lady characters are added in with their own story and arcs that ultimately collided with Yokos.This is very politic and governance focused book. And I'm really sad more of it wasn't translated. We do get to see some of the characters we met in the first
This is the fourth book in the Twelve Kingdoms series by Ono and is portrayed in the anime series (season 2) pretty much story for story. It's also long--looks like a brick without its cover--and has lots of random typos. I found a "w" all by itself once. But that's to be expected when your publisher is "Pop Fiction" and you're translated from Japanese. The story goes slowly, which is one of the reasons it's so enormous in print, but it goes and the ex-princess and the kaikyaku do finally grow
