I have to give kudos to the editorial team that handled the translation of both the Moribito books. I find translated books tend to be stilted and clunky in general. Not the case here! You'd never know this wasn't an English book in the first place.
I loved the first one, but I have to admit that the second book is even better than the first. More satisfying, more sympathetic, more engrossing - and I loved the first one! Moribito satisfies with a tremendously rousing story that grips you and keeps you on the edge of your seat, and takes you to a completely different world that feels so original and fascinating. And I have to tell you, I had no clue what to expect in the grand finale. It was so original and impressive - and I tend to be the type of person who guesses everything that is going to happen. They say there is no original ideas - well, when you aren't familiar with another culture, it becomes original to you. And this book is fascinating for that reason.
Balsa is also one of the best kickass heroines I've had the pleasure of reading. She was a bit stiffer in the first one, but in this story everything becomes personal for her, and we really get to see her true personality - and she rocks! I honestly can't wait for the next in the series.

I initially watched the anime, which covers only the first book. When I realized this second book was going to take place in Kanbal, Balsa's homeland, and not include any of the characters introduced in the first book, I was a little slow and unmotivated to get started with this. Another thing that made it hard for me to get going was knowing that the other books in this series have not been translated into english, and as far as I know, they possibly never will be.
Still, I loved the book once I got going. Balsa is intelligent and a character to admire. This book did a great job shedding light onto her past, with so many unexpected revelations about it. And the ending was so poignant. It didn't pull any punches with the complicated feelings between she and Jiguro, who sacrificed the lives of eight of his closest friends to protect Balsa as she was a child. I'm now sad again that I've finished the book. She's heading back to New Yogo, to see Tanda again, and I would very much like to go with her. I wish they would translate the other books.

My thoughts on this one are pretty similar to the last - its strengths and weaknesses are much the same. Prose is smooth but a touch flat, world building is astounding - although in this one I did think Uehashi got a little carried away with the food. (Food is good! And oft-neglected in fantasy worlds! But geez.) This book had even more political intrigue than the last one, and I was totally hooked by it - for the second half of the story I barely came up for air.
I missed Tanda and I hope he'll be in the next book (if, indeed, the next book ever gets translated into English, s-sob). The end of this book seemed to indicate he likely would. Also, this line? "Magic weavers can see spirits, right, Tanda? If I die, I'll come back to you as a spirit." BAWLING, OTP FOREVER GUYS.

Great book, the story is woven at the border of visible with the invisible. It has a warm tone and this warmth envelops the hero’s journey. Great message, nice read. I hope we will get to read more of the writer’s story, she has a unique voice. For the feminists, the main character is a women heroin and you will enjoy the depth of her character.
