Relation In Favor Of Books The Harsh Cry of the Heron (Tales of the Otori #4)

Lord Otori Takeo beserta istrinya Kaede telah memerintah selama lebih dari enam belas tahun. Tiga Negara menjadi negeri yang kaya, damai dan sejahtera. Burung suci, houou, bersarang di Terayama dan hewan dalam dongeng, kirin, muncul di tepi pantai. Agaknya Nirwana tengah tersenyum pada mereka. Namun keberhasilan mereka menarik perhatian Kaisar dan jenderalnya, Lord Saga Hideki, yang mengincar seluruh kekayaan Tiga Negara, terutama pewaris Takeo, putri sulungnya, Shigeko, yang kini sudah cukup usia untuk menikah. Di saat yang sama, tindak kekerasan dan pengkhianatan dari masa silam tak hilang terkubur begitu saja. Keluarga Tribe yang membelot, Kikuta, berusaha membalas dendam. Mereka ingin bersekutu dengan adik ipar Takeo, Arai Zenko, yang tak pernah bisa melupakan maupun memaafkan kematian ayah kandungnya dengan cara yang memalukan. Tidak seorang pun bisa lepas dari incaran Tribe untuk selamanya. Takeo mengkhawatirkan banyak hal lain, lebih dari segalanya, kedua putri kembarnya, Maya dan Miki, dengan kemampuan aneh yang mereka miliki, membawa mereka masuk ke dunia penuh bayangan dan hantu. Dan rahasia-rahasia lain yang tak bisa terus disembunyikan rapat-rapat. Segala yang telah diraihnya bersama Kaede berada di ujung tanduk. Harsh Cry of the Heron (Jeritan Pilu Sang Bangau) adalah lanjutan yang menakjubkan dari 'Kisah Klan Otori', epik yang tak terlupakan dengan bentangan sisi emosional yang luas, karya klasik yang melewati batas genre, jender serta generasi.

Criticism About Books The Harsh Cry of the Heron (Tales of the Otori #4)

First off - I read this when I was only a teenager myself when it was brand new, so my opinion might be different if I read it today.I absolutely love the Otori trilogy and it's prequel, so I of course picked this one up as soon as it was out. But while the others sucked me in right away and had me engaged with the characters on a high level, this one disappointed me a lot. It felt like our main protagonist changed from a strong boy/man to someone always going on about just oh how old he is now.

Is was a meh ending to a good series.

What can I say. The range of charcters. The world. The perfect imperfections that come with being human in a world a nature vs nurture. What made this story even better as that we got to enjoy Takeo and Kaede's future after having grown with them in their youth. I loved seeing the internal struggles that Takeo and other characters had to deal with. It was a reminder that nothing is ever black and white. No one is perfect.

So disappointing! I tore into this book after devouring the original trilogy, but finished the story feeling that my enjoyment of these characters was now compromised. While the story was compelling, I felt the behavior and decisions of some of the main characters were inconsistent with their personas in the first books, thus creating pivotal scenarios that left me questioning the strength of their personas so beautifully developed in the previous books. As much as I wanted to know the

2 and a bit stars rounded up. If not for the rushed ending I might haven given this 3 stars, but as it is I feel somewhat cheated. If you're read the original trilogy, I honestly would suggest you don't bother with this book; the last ending was better.

WHY DID EVERYONE HAVE TO DIE?! TURN THE PAGE AND BANG EVERYONE'S DEAD!! Loved it, couldn't turn the pages faster! (:
