I really loved this book very much I can't wait to read the next one.I loved the characters very much especially the main character Himiko she is so very interesting with her trying to break beyond her boundaries I also liked the Japanese culture I saw in it. I liked the story very much it was well written and so very well developed. The story of Himiko and how she navigates her life with her clan and all the things that happen makes it so very interesting. So overall I loved this book it was well written.
