Kojiki
3.5 stars. I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for a review.Kojiki is a story based on Japanese mythology. I have never read any Japanese mythology so I found it quite interesting. Most authors, especially those geared toward a YA audience, seem to drag plot lines out and turn what could be just one book into at least two, so I went into this expecting it to take Keiko a good portion of the book to find the gate. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the gate is found right in the first chapter and the action starts pretty much right away as well. In fact this book is packed with lots of action. The only real drawbacks for me were, not enough character development on Keiko's part, and the characters of Lon Shan and Paitr seemed a bit wasted or not really needed. Overall a good read.
