This story is heavily influenced by Japanese folklore and culture, which I did enjoy, I haven't read a book like this before.
I couldn't pronounce the main character's name, Okiku. I felt like I was pronouncing it wrong.
This follows Okiku and Tark. Tark's mom sort of went crazy when he was younger causing most of his problems.
I felt like this mostly was informative.
One of my biggest problems with this was the writing style. It was good but weird. Does that make sense? It was from Okiku's POV but sometimes it seemed like it was more 1st person than 3rd. Possibly like a mix in the middle. So it was a little bit of an adjustment at times. Also sometimes it seemed like it went off from the storyline on slightly irrelevant things.
All and all this was a nice read. I did enjoy it, it was pretty quick. At times it seemed to be really slow but the last half picked up more.
I definitely recommend picking this up if you've got the time. Personally at this time I don't plan on picking up the sequel.
I gave this ***/5 stars
