book review :

story plot

In my opinion the book was great , my favorite character would have to be the main character Seikei because of his outgoing personality. my favorite part of the book would have to be when Seikei and his father had gotten to the inn , because thats when the ball started rolling and when it got interesting. my other favorite part of the book is when they woke up and relized that the jewel and got stolen , this made the book suspenseful and full of drama . i would recommend reading this book because it has lots of details and a great story with it.

Seikei is a son of a tea merchant and wants to be one of the most honorable warriors in Japan, a samurai. He and his father are on their way to Edo, the shogun’s city. On their way there, Seikei and his father stop at an inn to rest for the night. During the middle of the night, Seikei thinks he sees a Jikininki or an eater of human flesh. Seikei tries to follow it but it soon disappears. When they wake up, the innkeeper informs them a priceless gem on its way to Edo for the shogun vanishes. Only Seikei’s eyes saw the thief who he thought was a ghost, therefore he is the only one who can solve the mystery with the help of judge Ooka, an honorable judge who works under the shogun.
