Explanation During Books Heaven's Net Is Wide (Tales of the Otori #0)

The new beginning — and the grand finale to — the beloved Tales of the Otori series.

Heaven's Net Is Wide is the new first volume of the now complete Tales of the Otori — prequel to Across the Nightingale Floor, the book that first introduced Hearn's mythical, medieval Japanese world. This is the story of Lord Otori Shigeru — who has presided over the entire series as a sort of spiritual warrior-godfather — the man who saved Takeo and raised him as his own and heir to the Otori clan. This sweeping novel expands on what has been only hinted at before: Shigeru's training in the ways of the warrior and feudal lord, his relationship with the Tribe of mysteriously powerful assassins, the battles that tested his skills and talents, and his fateful meeting with Lady Maruyama.

Heaven's Net Is Wide is an epic tale of warfare, loyalty, love, and heartbreak. This book leaves off where Across the Nightingale Floor begins, finally bringing the Otori series full circle. And while it both completes and introduces the Tales of the Otori, it also stands on its own as a satisfying, dramatic novel of feudal Japan.

Assessment Appertaining To Books Heaven's Net Is Wide (Tales of the Otori #0)

Okay, so I don't often do reviews of the books I read, but this is going to be an exception. This is the prequel of the series "The Tales of the Otori", and being a Japanophile I absolutely fell in love with this book. I anxiously await reading the rest of the series, but they are surprisingly hard to find (not at the local bookstores or in the Barnes & Noble at the Grove). The detail to which the author immerses you into the Japanese culture is astounding, and it wove in just enough fantasy

Couldn't get into it :/

This was just too hard to stay connected to the characters in audio, and I gave up. That was sad, because I really liked the voice used by the author in telling the story. It is unreasonable to hope that I'd get to this before all the other things that didn't work in audio, but that I suspect might be good, but it qualifies as a candidate for that.

i can't decide if it would be better to read this as the first book in the series or the last cos i want to read Across the Nightingale Floor all over again! I'm officially putting this series on my list of favorites 😍😍😍

It had been a long time since I had read Harsh Cry of the Heron and I couldn't really remember the characters or the plot very well, however as this was a prequel, I really had no excuses to not read it. Lian Hearn did a brilliant job with this book and it is definitely my favourite Tales of the Otori book, even though it is not part of the original series. I would absolutely love it if there was a sequel to this from the perspective of Shigeru but that is clearly not possible. After reading

I bought this in London for Alex to read (teen literature section)- and ended up reading it myself. The author is a British author who developed a facination with early Japan. Hers is a fictional world of 3 Japanese warrior clans a tribe with valueable skills (hired as spies and assasins) and a hidden group with alternative religious views. I like the story and the writing. At times it seemed a bit slow, but the characters are strong and well developed with beliefs and actions that tie them

This book is as good as the first one. I read this as the fifth and last installment of the series and I am very happy about that even though it technically all takes place before the first book. I do believe you can read it first or last and that doesn't really matter. I also believe you could read this one as a stand alone. Again it is up there with the first book and seriously one of the better books I've read in my life.
