I have read both Shike, Book 1 & 2 twice. I was swept away into that period. I too felt the love, passion, hate, fear, pain, anguish, frustrations, triumphs, victories, strengths and weakness of the hero and heroin. I saw Fuedal Japan as it was then. I was there in the midst. There are really no words to describe the experience. Snow capped Mt. Fugi, the Cherry Blossoms, the antient temples, and much, much more are painted pictures in my mind that makes me want to go there again.

I would love to recommend this book for anyone who is interested in the Japanese/Samurai Genre. It isn't a Samurai book per se, but it has the feeling that I truly love. I blazed through this book fairly quickly as the pacing flows well. It took quite a bit of digging to find this book, but it was well worth the search.

A powerful story of love and hate, peace and war. Set in the time of the great Kublai Khan, it takes place in China, Japan and Outer Mongolia. Jebu, a young monk of the famous Zinja tribe of fighting men, is sent to escort the beautiful Lady Taniko to a marriage with a cruel nobleman, much older than herself. They fall very much in love and in spite of their different backgrounds their paths are destined to cross again and again. Jebu achieves renown as a warrior while Taniko's husband disowns her and she becomes mistress of Kublai Khan and a most powerful figure inthe land. Yet their love for each other remains true and stands the test of time.
