Emperor of the Eight Islands

De: Lian Hearn

Narrado por: Neil Shah

As destiny weaves its rich tapestry, a compelling drama plays out against a background of wild forests, elegant castles, hidden temples, and savage battlefields. This is the medieval Japan of Lian Hearn's imagination, where animal spirits clash with warriors and children navigate a landscape as serene as it is deadly.

Fantasy & Fables

Probably should be in the Young Adult ranks, multiple fantasies and little in the way of character or plot development. Although the narrator's enunciation was almost flawless, the rapid-fire introduction of many Japanese names was hard to keep up with.

Enter the Darkwood

Lian Hearn's mystical world quivers with an adventure in medieval Japan. Sorcery and samurai clash and a hero is born from a stag....it's only the beginning. Three more to come.....enter this world and be thrilled

Tough Getting Into It

we loved the Otari series so eager for more Loan Hearn. I had to listen to most this twice to get into it but now look forward to Book 2!

Very good

This was a very good story. Loved how it weaved the magic and how agent Japan being the backdrop of the story. I also loved the spirits and magic this book has.

an ok book

Well written book but it was too violent for my taste. It felt like there were too many characters and the voice actor wasn't good at the dialogue sections. I would have not finished this book hat it not been an audio book, I feel like it would have been too tedious.
