The third title in the compelling Tales of the Otori – the story that began with Across the Nightingale Floor and Grass for his Pillow, Brilliance of the Moon by Lian Hearn is an epic tale of love, power and destiny, set in a mythical world inspired by feudal Japan.
Takeo and the exquisite Kaede, still only teenagers, are now married, but the implacable forces of destiny that rule their lives tear them apart. Takeo, a battle-hardened warrior at the head of an army fighting for his Otori birthright, finds his courage and leadership forged in the fire of bloodshed and sacrifice, while his legendary magical powers are tested to their limits against the invisible assassins of the Tribe. Kaede, determined to reclaim her own lands, is treacherously betrayed and forced into marriage. Their love will survive until death – but death, in this savage, beautiful world, is always only a moment away.

An epic ending to an epic Japanese saga. I loved the whole series, the characters and how well the story was written and fictionalized. The audio book male voice artist was spectacular, was depth of voice he brought to the story, made me move emotionally at several points. Sadly this can't be said about the female voice artist, maybe English wasn't her first language but her telling of the story was really terrible. She read statements without any emotion, almost as children read in a classroom. Apart from that, overall a superb trilogy. Glad to have found this.
