Explanation In Pursuance Of Books Grass for His Pillow (Tales of the Otori #2)

Praised for its epic scope and descriptive detail, Across the Nightingale Floor, the first book in the Tales of the Otori series, was an international bestseller and critical success, named by the London Times as "the most compelling novel to have been published this year." With Grass for His Pillow, Book Two, we return to the medieval Japan of Lian Hearn's creation—a land of harsh beauty and deceptive appearances.In a complex social hierarchy, amid dissembling clans and fractured allegiances, there is no place for passionate young love. The orphan Takeo has been condemned to work as an assassin—an enforced occupation that his father sacrificed his own life to escape. Meanwhile, Takeo’s beloved Shirakawa Kaede, heir to the Murayama and alone in the world, must find a way to unify the domain she has inherited, as she fights off the advances of would-be suitors and hopes against fading hope that Takeo will return to her...

Grass for His Pillow is the second book of the Tales of the Otori series by Lian Hearn.Now before I begin, I must say that I really enjoyed the first book. Sure, it had cliches and elements about it that I would usually not enjoy, but I found it an excellent read. I love the fantasy Japanese inspired world as it is one of my passions and the world-building is very strong.I did not want to kill him. But I did.However, Grass for His Pillow was a lot slower. After reading over 300 pages I am left

I liked this book well enough, though it suffered a bit from middle-book syndrome. Both main characters seemed to be immobilised by their indecision and the cliché of the Samurai killing themselves to sustain their honour was way overdone. Yet again, like its predecessor, this was a beautiful and tragic story. Although now, at the end of it I feel drained. So much grief! Maybe it also my current mood, being ill while on holiday, almost breaking my kindle, winter coming Ill hold off on the last

The whole time I was reading this, only one thought was consistently running through my mind and that was "Oh please I hope the author doesn't kill off the MC, please please." What I particularly liked in the second book was how Kaede has been trying hard to step into the power she found herself in. And I appreciate that we were taken along for the ride while she went through all those experiences that honed her to be a woman of power. I'm excited and at the same time apprehensive of what

This second volume in the Otori trilogy commences at the point where book 1 left off. Faced with an ultimatum from the Tribe, his biological father's people, to either join them and finish his training with them, renouncing his inheritance from his adoptive father Otori Shigeru, or else be killed, Takeo has to go with them. (Takeo's adoption into the Otori clan is later declared illegal by the self serving uncles who arranged for Shigeru's murder in any case). He then endures privations and
