This book was so good. I was caught up right from the start; I couldn't put it down and read it all in one sitting! Mariko was such a wonderful character and the plot was so engaging. Excellent!

Oh my God, this book was amazing! What an epic start to Renee Ahdieh's new series! The world-building was fantastic—I loved the whole japanese/samurai era vibe. The characters were very unique and interesting, I instantly fell inlove with the members of The Black Clan. The romance was totally swoonworthy! Mariko and Okami's chemistry was so palpable, it hurts! I'm shipping them so hard! This book was so unputdownable I finished reading it in three hours! Renee Ahdieh definitely outdid herself with this series, I loved it more than The Wrath & the Dawn. I can't wait for book two! I highly recommend it!!!
