Críticas
The fluid prose and morally ambiguous characters are magically seductive. * Kirkus Reviews * All kinds of brilliant. Awesome storytelling. -- Max Porter A must-read * Aurealis * Brutally thrilling historical fantasy * The Herald Sun * A fitting follow-up to the Otori series * The Age * Wonderfully evocative . . . intriguing. * Queensland Times * The action comes thick and fast . . . The compelling characters and captivating worldbuilding means readers will look forward to part two. * Japan Times * Hearn once again brings . . . a breadth of scale, ideas, and adventure that rivals any other fantasy for its pure ambition and sheer pleasure . . . Lian Hearn's return to her rich, unique universe offers everything you want from the genre, but with a wholly distinct flavor and style. In short, you'll immediately want to begin reading book two. -- Barnes & Noble blog One of the great joys of genre novels is that they usually care deeply about plot, satisfying the innately human desire for story. And there is story aplenty here. The unfolding events are so fascinating, the writing so lithe and seductive. There's no need to have read Hearn's earlier Otori series, set in the same remarkable fantasy world, to enjoy this one. Indeed, her new epic seems sure to recruit a fresh legion of fans. * The Saturday Paper * The Otori world is feudal Japan with imaginary place names, written in the spirit of The Tale of Genji and other classics. As with Genji, two warring clans seek to control the Emperor, and the country itself. The books are carefully researched, being surely the most wildly successful product of an Asialink grant. They convince as if being read in translation, as if Hearn is merely the medium for some lost and ancient text. Much like 'Game of Thrones', the book can be read as political intrigue, with great strength deriving from the character studies. Nobody is black or white, rather shades of grey. * Melbourne Age * A work as densely populated as a Russian novel [which] moves onwards with the narrative force of a flood. It is easy to let the book sweep the reader away, to engage with strange events, but very compelling characters [and] huge imaginative vitality. * Sydney Morning Herald *
