Negative Positive
Title: historical fiction
Review: Shike is actually a mystic/monk from actual japanese history call Bankai I believe. The main character that he actually attaches himself to is the fictionalize (not very) is Minamoto no Yoshitune. The end of the book is a not very fictionalized, but definitely mythologized end of the Minamoto clan shogunate. The events are compressed and rearranged, but fairly accurate to tell a great tale. I definatelly enjoyed it, and it teachers you abit about Japanese history.
