Excellent start! Gut wrenching, and then redeeming

Definitely a engaging story. Hard to predict what will happen.
Tugs on one's heart strings though.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 74
It’s been a year since Yuki Hirano left home - or more precisely, was booted from it—to study forestry in the remote mountain village of Kamusari. Being a woodsman is not the future he imagined, but his name means “courage,” and Yuki hopes to live up to it. He’s adapting to his job and learning constantly. In between, he records local legends—tales pulsing with life, passion, and wondrous gods. Kamusari has other charms as well. One of them is Nao.

Lumber stories - 5 stars, Love Story - 1 star
Reviewed: 08-03-22
Despite the meandering into the love story told by a Jr High school student in the first book, I really enjoyed hearing about the wood cutting, and Lumber practices and other aspects about the work and traditions in the mountains. Because of this I decided to do the second book to get more history and Lumber stories. I did get some of that but, the love story got much worse and more forced in this second book. "Will you be my Girlfriend?", I'm honestly wondering if this book was written by two different people. You literally stop asking a girl that after about oh.. the 4th or 5th grade. Also, what was up with that completely unnecessarily vulgar reference to the... Male components and processes? Up to that point it was a G or maybe PG book. Really an unnecessary tidbit to be added to the book. I am hoping it was just a gross misunderstanding of the translation from the original text.

Story4 out of 5 stars 194
It’s 1914. The Great War grips the world - and from the Western Front a strange story emerges...a story of St. George and a brigade of angels descending from heaven to fight beside the beleaguered British troops. But can there be any truth to it?

Good enough story, but nothing to write home about

Had a hard time staying engaged with this one. Just not alot going on, and it all seemed just a little too 'clean' on how it all fit together.
Narrator was excellent.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 16,066
In the absolutely packed Act II, the dark fantasy resumes and the Sandman expands into the French Revolution, ancient Rome, 19th-century San Francisco, eighth-century Baghdad, and beyond. New and familiar characters abound, voiced by a bright mix of performers, including Kat Dennings, Regé-Jean Page, Emma Corrin, Michael Sheen, Kristen Schaal, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Jeffrey Wright, and so many more, including fan-favorite narrators Simon Vance and Ray Porter.

Great listen, but not as good as Act I.
Reviewed: 11-29-21
The performance was exceptional to listen to, but I wasn't as enthralled with some of the individual stories like I was for Act I
