#nowreading the last book in the #Shikanoko series!
The book wraps up everything nicely, with plenty of action towards the end. I have not yet read The Tales of the Otori, but was pleasantly surprised when the ending made a clear reference to the Otori name. However, keep in mind these books stand well on their own. But I feel even more incentive now to read Lian Hearn's previous series.
Turns out I have very few books with #pinkcovers. I was about to go in for a repost when this caught my eye, the fourth book of The Tale of Shikanoko I won from @Litsy last year. I'm looking forward to digging into this series. These covers are to die for...the colors, the embossing, the gold-ish leaf. *drool*
The Tale of Shikanoko is the Japanese fairytale I‘ve been waiting for. This series tells the story of Shikanoko, an orphaned teenager who is destined to restore the lost emperor to his throne. But this isn‘t your average “chosen one” story. Five boys born at the same time from the combined qualities of five fathers and one mom, a man reincarnated as a horse, and Frankenstein's monster-like beasts—what doesn't this story deliver? 🐉🍱🐲🍁
Such a bittersweet thing it was to finish this book, thus finishing the series! Everything did not turn out the way I had hoped, but I am overall very pleased with the ending! These characters truly touched my soul deeply! If you have not read this series, put it on your TBR. This series has earned a coveted spot on my shelves right next to Lord of the Rings!
Finally started this yesterday. I am almost halfway through, and it is just as good as the first three, but....I DON'T WANT THE SERIES TO END! Waaaah!!!
Starting this on my lunch break...this will be so very bittersweet...
These are two protector spirits and they are very mischievous. Their banter cracks me up.
I'm sad. I'm sad the series is over. With these four books I've grown to care deeply for the characters and I'm going to legitimately miss them. This book started a little slow but everything came full circle and could have only ended the way it did and still be true to the tone of the series. I can't say enough how much I loved these books and this series has become my 2nd favorite of all time edged out only by Harry Potter. ❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟
BOOK MAIL!! 👏🏻🎉 The covers on this series deserve to be framed!! I am both joyful and sad to receive this book...so excited to see how it all ends, but at the same time I DONT WANT IT TO END! I am hesitant to read it because once I read this book it will really be over!! @DiruVamp what do I do!?!?!
This is a bittersweet moment. I am beyond excited to read this but it's the last one. @callunakeep and I have no clue what we are going to do with no more Shikanoko 😳😔🤓
The final book arrived today!!! HOORAY! I feel like when you get all four of them together, they should join together to form one big book and fight Megatron or something. 😂
