Grass for His Pillow

Written by Mark Pope on May 13th, 2008

  • Book Rating: 4/5

"Grass for His Pillow" is a very good read, however it does not quite match up with Book 1 of the Otori trilogy. Book Lian Hearn created a very unique and colorful world in "Across the Nightingale Floor." Many of the characteristics that made the first book truly unique and mesmerizing continue. The insight into the mindset of a different culture and time is genius and the subtle blending of faith, religion, and the supernatural into the plot serve to enhance rather than overshadow basic human desire and need. However, I felt the author sped by some key moments in the lives of the characters that I would loved to have explored in-depth. Perhaps it is just my selfish nature as I approach the last book fully aware of the impending conclusion yet yearning to know more about the characters I have taken so close to heart. Regardless, a good read.

This was the second of the Otori series and I loved it as much as I loved the Nightingale Floor. The story of Takeo and Kaede's fight to stay together and to protect their domains is epic in scope and facinating to read. You are never certain what is going to happen next but you can not wait to find out. I listen to audio books to ease my daily commute but sometime I just sit in the car and listen even after I have reached my destination.
