Wow just wow, this is an absolute heartbreaker. To say your heartstrings will be pulled is such an understatement. Its absolutely breathtaking, and an thrilling story to say the least. Im eagerly awaiting the next book in this story, the ending was set up so perfectly. It was wrapped up nicely with a thin red stringy tie, making way for the next stage in the story built up since the previous books. Absolutely breathtaking.

This is as good as it gets. This is the most mature, best written Samurai of Hyuga book/game so far, and the series was already the best example of choice gamebook narratives out there, so that's saying a lot. The central relationship is one of the best I've ever seen, anywhere. It does go to very dark places, but not without purpose or resolution. That twist at the end.. I want that storyline renewed next book. Just incredibly well realized. Update: We can save now. ^^ All set for Book 5!

In this entry, I found the vice of the Attunement system alleviated for most of the book; since you aren't able to keep track over it, you can play without the rising and falling of the stat stressing you out. In terms of writing, Junko Uesugi is both exceptionally multifaceted and entirely internally consistent, and I was thoroughly impressed with the characterization in her interactions with the protagonist. Play the first three, play this one, avoid spoilers from the other reviews here.
