The Twelve Kingdoms: Sea of Shadow  - 山田 章博, Akihiro Yamada, 小野 不由美, Fuyumi Ono

I actually finished a book!

 

I'm kind of sad that it's over, because now I have a decision to make: do I finish one of my "currently reading" books or do I start something new that might work as well for me in my current mood as Sea of Shadow did? I'm leaning towards the latter option, but I don't actually know what I'll choose. I don't think I'm in the mood for another book in this series just yet, so maybe one of the ones I just got in the mail? Or maybe I really do just need to wallow in some rereads for a while...

 

Anyway, last time I read this (Eugene Woodbury's fan translation, at least), I gave it 4 stars. Prior to that, I gave it 3.5. For this particular reading, I'd say 4 stars again, although the wording in the 3.5-star review I wrote back in 2014 still works for me.
