Story
Aside from the political unrest in many of the stories, extra tension is evident when looked at the complicated buildup of the characters’ character, and their continuous need to develop into something more. These fantasy stories are short but powerful. They heavily focus on complex structures that deal with moral dilemmas in a world of magic, supernatural powers, and unrealistic appearances of creatures that are only fictitious to the unbeliever.

Dreamy fantasy stories have actually been a trend. They’ve inspired millions. As opposed to the lengthy novels, these stories are short but cut to the chase in an instant. They light up the weird and the uncanny, the marvelous as well as the fantastic: All the things we know are going beyond the reasonable and instantly realistic - into looking-glass, beyond the songs of the impossibly haunting violin, with the twisted trees of the ancient timbers.

As someone who loves Asian inspired fantasy and zombie fiction, this certainly seemed right up my alley. I loved the historical feudal Japan setting. The cultural references were easily my favourite aspect of the story. This is not an ownvoices story and I cannot personally determine the historical accuracy, but the details included made me think that this book was well researched.
The Japanese setting really helped to breathe life into a subgenre of horror (zombies) that is arguably quite exhausted. This one was not particularly gruesome, but I also appreciated that it didn't shy away from the brutalities of life. It followed a lot of the familiar zombie tropes, but the setting made the story feel more unique.
Despite appearing to have all the elements I love in my fiction, I never became fully immersed in the story. I think that was because I struggled to connect to the characters, which were at the heart of the narrative. The author took time to give them all backstories and personality traits, yet I struggled to differentiate them at times or care for their well-being.
Regardless, this historical zombie story was a fair amount of fun to read. It's technically the start of a series, but this first book wraps up with a fairly tight conclusion (including an epilogue). If you enjoy zombies or Asian fantasy as much as I do, then you'll likely want to try this one for yourself. This is a great "read a like" for people who enjoyed the historical Korean zombie show on Netflix, Kingdom.
Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the author for review.

My only issue with this book is that it had so many characters and with names that were similar. I had a hard time keeping up with who was who. For instance there are three characters named (spelling phonetically since I listened to it) Keto, Kayto, and Kajee. And there was also Sayto, Saya, Satori. There were so many characters, at one point someone was mentioned and I said, "what, he's still alive?"
Overall however, I did enjoy the book and would recommend it to folks who like these genres.
Enjoyed it!
