Brave Story by Miyuki Miyabe
This book was quite a journey. The first 130 pages went by really slowly and I'd say the book was barely a 3/5, but after it got going it really took off. I enjoyed all of the characters and his missions and felt the book wrapped up in a really fantastic way. It's rare that I come across someone with this much self awareness and growth.

All She Was Worth by Miyuki Miyabe
Noir-y japanese mystery novel. Interesting view of japanese debt system. Characters felt a little shallow

Apparitions: Ghosts of Old Edo by Miyuki Miyabe
The stories are very good traditional Japanese ghost tales at their core. The author enjoys adding much detail to the lives of the characters which brings the reader close to the daily workings of normalcy in the working classes. However, the details become overbearing in most stories to the point where the supernatural makes only the faintest of appearances to minimal effect. As an artistic statement, this could be praiseworthy as the ghost is fleeting enough to just be a suggestion at the externalized folly of whatever poor soul witnesses it. As an engaging book though, it left something to be desired.… (more)

The Book of Heroes by Miyuki Miyabe
A fundamentally Japanese style of young adult fantasy. It's full of exposition in big lumps, but it's also sweet, and thrilling, and pleasant.

The translation is outstanding, as to be expected from A. O. Smith.
