Welcome to Litsy!

After I wrap up a couple of my Netgalley reads this is going to be my next read, take a break from YA for a bit. Also, living in Japan right now has me craving more Japanese inspired reads.

I love Tales of the Otori; this is very different. I enjoyed the story but I felt there were too many characters introduced at the beginning. I also felt that some of the major plot points-the Prince Abbot becoming Shika‘s master, for example- were dealt with much too quickly and lacked detail. However, I love this author and the story is compelling. Definitely a slow starter but I‘ll continue with the rest of the series.

Creepy. One of the supporting characters is 10 and living in an abandoned house. A government official found her, was going to kill her, but instead is going to groom her to be his wife...... #creepy #abuse

This is the 3rd book I have read in a row that had the name "Kai". #why? #idontknowanyonenamekai #thisoneisagirl
