Quite an interesting departure from what I'd normally read. This is the first book of a trilogy set in medieval Japan, focusing on a young boy called Takeo. He grows up in a small, peaceful village but this quiet life is destroyed when the Tohan army massacre everyone in his town. He is saved and then adopted by Otori Shiguru and under his tutelage, learns to develop his inherited special talent to meet his goal of revenge.
I would have thought I would have liked this. It suffers a little from being translated but I did get caught up in the world presented and came to care about the characters. I'm even tempted to read the other books in the series!
