Really great finale. All of the characters’ stories were wrapped up in a satisfying way for me. There was a slight bit of Dues ex machina at the climax, but I think given the way the story had worked leading up to it, it isn’t an issue.

This is definitely connected to her other series, but I’m not sure if I ever will read those books. Partly because I’m just not that interested, but also I can never seem to find them all in similar covers that I like, or in some cases at all. I guess the series is so old it’s out of print now.

Regardless, I think this is a really great Japanese fantasy, and would recommend it highly.
