Aside from having a name long enough to make my post-title formatting sensibilities cringe, this was a pretty good book. I had some other thoughts about it too, which I’ll address after the break, but at first blush it’s good fun: a young adult paranormal mystery set in Japan. I’m glad my friend gave it to me when I asked for something new to read.
I read this book in halting installments; not because I couldn’t get through it quickly, but because I read each section as it became available, starting two months before its ostensible publishing date. I don’t know whether that says more about the book or about my love for the series started by Eric Flint‘s 1632. I can say that I would certainly recommend this one to anyone else who has enjoyed the previous books in the series. Read on past the break to find my more nuanced thoughts on Iver Cooper‘s 1636: Seas of Fortune.
