"A delightfully engrossing read, one that goes in some unexpected directions, and puts the characters and their struggles at the fore of everything." -- Trans-Scribe "I had a wonderful time jumping back again into the world of Rokugan" -- Tsuri Sparkles "An entertaining and impactful read, that went far beyond its supernatural elements to create a very human, emotional story." -- Beneath a Thousand Skies, on The Night Parade of 100 Demons "The fascinating and rather beautiful way that Marie has presented the culture and world of Rokugan drew me in and kept me turning the page." -- Big Geordie Geek, on The Night Parade of 100 Demons
