This story seems to combine mythology with history. The setting seems to be countries like Japan and China . The Nikara being the Chinese and the
Federation of Mugen being the Japanese.
The book depicts a war and its participants including gods.
The focus of the story is Rin who hopes to carve a new life
by becoming a warrior. To do so she must
pass a test to get to the military academy.
She meets Altan who is the last of his race, the Speerlies.
There is a wealth of action and introspection. It seems like all of the characters want to
self analyze, almost to distraction.
Rin’s experiences are colored by her impoverished background. The military school is not what she expected
and she is taught things she had never imagined.
Hatred is explored and with it the blindness that allows
inhumane bigotry.
This was a thought provoking book while still being
entertaining.
I recommend it.
