On a mountainside at the edge of the Kaigenese Empire live the most powerful warriors in the world, superhumans capable of raising the sea and wielding blades of ice. For hundreds of years, the fighters of the Kusanagi Peninsula have held the Empire's enemies at bay, earning their frozen spit of land the name "The Sword of Kaigen".
Born into Kusanagi's legendary Matsuda family, f14-year-old Mamoru has always known his purpose: To master his family's fighting techniques and defend his homeland. But when an outsider arrives and pulls back the curtain on Kaigen's alleged age of peace, Mamoru realizes that he might not have much time to become the fighter he was bred to be. Worse, the empire he was bred to defend may stand on a foundation of lies.
Misaki told herself that she left the passions of her youth behind when she married into the Matsuda house. Determined to be a good housewife and mother, she hid away her sword, along with everything from her days as a fighter in a faraway country. But with her growing son asking questions about the outside world, the threat of an impending invasion looming across the sea, and her frigid husband grating on her nerves, Misaki finds the fighter in her clawing its way back to the surface.
When the winds of war reach their peninsula, will the Matsuda family have the strength to defend their empire? Or will they tear each other apart before the true enemies even reach their shores?

Geschichte
When Rin aced the Keju - the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies - it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard - the most elite military school in Nikan - was even more surprising.

Sancia Grado is a thief, and a damn good one. And her latest target, a heavily guarded warehouse on Tevanne’s docks, is nothing her unique abilities can’t handle. But unbeknownst to her, Sancia’s been sent to steal an artifact of unimaginable power, an object that could revolutionize the magical technology known as scriving. The Merchant Houses who control this magic - the art of using coded commands to imbue everyday objects with sentience - have already used it to transform Tevanne into a vast, remorseless capitalist machine.

PRONOUNCIATION
The story is simply amazing. Thoughtfull, with well realized characters and an interesting plot, the story is a pure success. But one big negative point is the narration. Generally, Andrew Tell does a good job, but the titles, which are orinigally Japanese are almost all mispronounced and it GRATES. How could it be that no one bothered to quality check this? The -kun almost sounds like a vey bad word, -chan rhymes with man and -sama fluctuates like it is part of the actual names. It feels like noone bothered to tell Andrew Tell that these titles are rooted in an actual culture and have a CORRECT pronounciation and aren't a result of M.L. Wangs imagination.

The first half is great, then not so much
The beginning drags a bit but the first half of the book is phenomenal. The characters are so vivid, we have a 14-year-old who actually behaves like a 14-year-old! And all the characters are flawed but so real and you just have to like them (well, except one).
The magic is not super original but very solid, and definitely one of the top ones of elemental magic. The fight scenes are really well written, in the way that they don't indulge in violence but also don't gloss over things. The message is clear: War is an ugly thing that should happen to no one. And this is one of the things I really, really liked about this book!
And the one major death scene is tragic but so absolutely beautiful... I was almost in tears.
Then, there's a second major event which had to happen, but also I didn't like the execution. I do know that the characters are flawed which really came out best in this scene, but I just didn't like it. Also, one of the main characters has such a major character change, which came too quickly for me at least. I do like the ending, I do like that we get to stay in this world and grow with the characters, that we get to see how they deal with their grief, but I did not like the second half of the book as much as the first.
It is supposed to be bittersweet and I suppose that it is, but it's just not really my piece of cake.
So, all in all, the first half of the book left me in awe and I was sure I had found a new favourite and recommended it to everyone I know. The second half did diminish this feeling a bit, but it's still a good book.
I don't know any Japanese so I have no idea whether the narrator pronounced things correctly. I sometimes was annoyed when characters were speaking to each other in foreign languages, but it was fine overall.

Japanese pronunciations completely off
The book is amazing, however they should've considered a narrator with at least minor knowlegde of Japanese name pronunciation, or at least instructed him on it.
This isn't the narrators fault at all but I can't help but cringe every time he says '-kun' like 'kan' and I don't see why he wasn't taught how to say 'yoroshiku onegaishimasu' even vaguely correctly when it came up in the story. One time he even confused two characters.
It's a shame because the story is brilliant, but these mispronunciations keep breaking the immersion.

gripping storytelling
do not let the "fantasy" label put you out of reading this book, it is an amazing story! characters have depth, growth and failures with believable arcs. The writer manages to bring a whole world filled with empathy and you will find yourself unable to stop until you reach the end.
it is one of those books that you can't stop reading but you do not want to finish as to not say goodbye to the characters and the world. 10/10 will read again.
