My review:
This book is amazing! The story has its own universe and languages. I like the world-building. I was mesmerized by how the writer depict the universe and create a world where people have nyamaa and ability to control element. The ability has its own name; jijaka, tajaka, fonyaka, and jaseli.
This story tells about Mamoru who come from Matsuda family. His family is complicated and has some kind of God’s power. At first, I thought the story only revolved around Mamoru. But, it was actually about the complicated relationship between his parents a.k.a. Takeru and Misaki. The resolution of their relationship is so heart-warming.
The action scene is so well-written! I was drawn by the writing style and the universe of theonite. And some scenes are heart-wrenching because it’s about family and war.
Overall, I give score 4,5 to this book! This book is worth to read and recommended especially if you love family drama, action, and characters who’s able to use sword!
