A fun and easy read, set in a fantasy land of Twelve Kingdoms where the clothes and some of the culture resembles ancient China. This is actually a re-read, so I'm not bothering with the first half of the novel. I'm catching up on Taiki and Gyousou's stories in anticipation of the newest novel.
In this book the kirin (mythical unicorn-type creature) Taiki meets and chooses Gyousou as king of the kingdom of Tai. He deeply regrets his choice, however, fearing he chose the man for all the wrong reasons. If it wasn't the will of Heaven, will their people be punished?
Little, bitty Taiki finally finding some happiness makes my heart hurt because of what happened in his past and what I know is coming next.
