And what dragons they are!
(Okay, I should have said ‘be’ here, but my inner grammar nazi is
complaining.)
Kojiki, by Keith Yatsuhashi is a wonderfully fantastical
tale of dragons, ancient spirts, and the modern day world. Keiko is a wonderful character. I enjoyed her struggle to believe what was
happening, but enjoyed it even more when she embraced her dangerous
adventure. The book will hit all the
right notes for anyone with an interest in Japanese culture and mythology.
But really, I was there for the dragons. These fierce guardians are
awe-inspiring. Huge, dangerous, and
everything dragons should be. I could
practically see them attack as I read!
If I had one nitpick with the book, it was that I didn’t
love the things that happened in the US quite as much. That particular storyline held little
interest for me at first. Other than
that, this was a terrific read!
