I got this book through the Amazon Vine program to review. This was a very well done YA fantasy book set in Feudal Japan. I can tell a lot of research and time went into creating the setting.

The book is well written and overall I enjoyed the characters and the setting. The story is a fairly typical power struggle type of story between factions. Entwined within this is the more personable story about a lord's daughter who decides to join the very men who tried to kill her by disguising herself a man in order to learn the purpose behind the attack on her.

While I thought everything about this book was well done for some reason it didn't really grab me and suck me in like some fantasy stories. I wasn't ever really dying to know what happened next. I just kind of read it and thought "Huh, well that was pretty good."

Overall this was a well done book that I enjoyed reading. I would recommend to those who enjoy YA fantasy set in an Asian setting. While I enjoyed the book, I didn't absolutely love it so right now I am unsure whether or not I will continue the series.
