Publisher Description
I-sei Province is still reeling in the aftermath of the insect plague. Jinshi resolves to do everything in his power to help the people of this land—but how far does his power really go in the western capital? And will he regret his efforts when all the credit seems to go to Gyoku-ou? The local lord seems to have an agenda of his own, but Jinshi still doesn’t know what it might be. Meanwhile Maomao must deal with problems of her own, from finding relief for a sick child to unraveling the mystery around the freak strategist’s favorite Shogi opponent. Somehow, each answer only seems to lead her to a bigger question...
Customer Reviews
One of the best in the series
This novel answers many questions, ties up loose ends and is heart-wrenching all of the same.
Sweaty palms
I feel like the series has been going downhill for a while. Nothing really happens between one book and the next, the writing feels lazy compared to early books, and frankly, I hate the relationship between the two main characters. It would be cute if these were pre-teens but they are now adults in their 20s.
What really put the nail in the coffin for me (not just for this book, but for the whole series) was the sweaty palms scene. Can’t bring myself to open the book again after that. It was just too gross and dumb.
