Wow this book was not at all what I thought it would be. I'm still slightly confused if I like aranel or not and thing as additional books come out ill have a clearer view. While at times I found it confusing due to similar names of the clan and the leader kana, once I was able to figure it out it made much more sense to me. What a twist there was because you weren't sure who you should trust in the book and who is truly evil. The descriptions of the different realms really transported me and I was able to imagine what it would be like to be there. I think the key in the back of the book is helpful to fully comprehend the different names throughout since it really breaks down how to say it and the meaning. I did not know it was there for half the book but when I found it I was very glad. I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait for the additional books to come out!
