I stood on the edge of that abyss between man and beast and played my harp for you, checking each note, one by one, to see if it would reach you. The Beast Player is the story of Elin and her bond with Beasts. For years the law between man and Beasts is simple, they will never be loyal to us, they...
I don't like the English title because it removes Eren/Erin/Elin's name. Probably because it's to feeeeemale. Overall the book relatively follows the anime, however the beginning of the book jumps straight to the action and the ending is vastly different from the anime. The book also doesn't have ...
The last time I read and reviewed this book was back in 2010, when my posts included spoiler-filled synopses that were as long or longer than the reviews themselves. I figured that a new review was in order, especially since my opinion of this book has improved. After Balsa, a female bodyguard, res...
Fifteen-year-old Saya is the only survivor of an attack by the army of the God of Light on her village when she was a child. Although she occasionally dreams about the attack, she now lives with her adoptive parents in the village of Hashiba, which has accepted the God of Light and his immortal chil...
Got my hands on the sequel to Morbito: Guardian of the Spirit since I loved it and the anime so much, I wanted to see what other adventures Balsa has gotten herself into. I adored this book just as much as the first. Balsa is still the strong, intelligent badass as she was in the first. The new ch...

And when she is chosen as a handmaiden for the Prince of Light, there is no higher honor. But Saya soon becomes dissatisfied with life at the Palace of Light. And she finds ...
This was a great story about a warrior/bodyguard who is given an impossible mission to save the prince from an otherworldly predator. The prince turns out to be the Moribito, or guardian of an egg that spawns once a century. What I liked about this story was that it wasn't a "save the world" story. ...
First, I love the pages in this book. They're smooth and a little bit heavier then a normal book page. This may mean nothing to some, but for me the book's pages and feel (and yes smell) add to the book experience/story. The pages are also numbered on the side instead of the bottom. The pages give t...
See this review and more at Whitley ReadsI recently found out that the second book in this series has been translated to English, so of course I had to do a reread of this one. For…what, the fourth time? Fifth? Who cares; I’m sure I’ll do more.This one of my favorite books from my childhood, so one...

Chagum had become possessed by something, and attempts are being made on his life. Balsa saves him from one of these, and is hired to keep him alive.There's a strong fable t...
