I really like this book. It's a collection of short stories that intertwine to make a bigger narrative based on a modern take of Japanese mythologies. The stories flow but there's no big finale or story resolution which is fine because it just works. My only criticism is the bland cover; it doesn't do anything when there's so much it could draw from the stories.
