Description Toward Books The Harsh Cry of the Heron (Tales of the Otori #4)

Lord Otori Takeo beserta istrinya Kaede telah memerintah selama lebih dari enam belas tahun. Tiga Negara menjadi negeri yang kaya, damai dan sejahtera. Burung suci, houou, bersarang di Terayama dan hewan dalam dongeng, kirin, muncul di tepi pantai. Agaknya Nirwana tengah tersenyum pada mereka. Namun keberhasilan mereka menarik perhatian Kaisar dan jenderalnya, Lord Saga Hideki, yang mengincar seluruh kekayaan Tiga Negara, terutama pewaris Takeo, putri sulungnya, Shigeko, yang kini sudah cukup usia untuk menikah. Di saat yang sama, tindak kekerasan dan pengkhianatan dari masa silam tak hilang terkubur begitu saja. Keluarga Tribe yang membelot, Kikuta, berusaha membalas dendam. Mereka ingin bersekutu dengan adik ipar Takeo, Arai Zenko, yang tak pernah bisa melupakan maupun memaafkan kematian ayah kandungnya dengan cara yang memalukan. Tidak seorang pun bisa lepas dari incaran Tribe untuk selamanya. Takeo mengkhawatirkan banyak hal lain, lebih dari segalanya, kedua putri kembarnya, Maya dan Miki, dengan kemampuan aneh yang mereka miliki, membawa mereka masuk ke dunia penuh bayangan dan hantu. Dan rahasia-rahasia lain yang tak bisa terus disembunyikan rapat-rapat. Segala yang telah diraihnya bersama Kaede berada di ujung tanduk. Harsh Cry of the Heron (Jeritan Pilu Sang Bangau) adalah lanjutan yang menakjubkan dari 'Kisah Klan Otori', epik yang tak terlupakan dengan bentangan sisi emosional yang luas, karya klasik yang melewati batas genre, jender serta generasi.

Discuss Appertaining To Books The Harsh Cry of the Heron (Tales of the Otori #4)

I loved the first three books of the Tales of the Otori series, but I don't think I can ever reread this one. It wasn't that it was poorly written, because it still maintained the lovely style of prose that the other three had. But, because of the 'prophecy' that was given at the start of the series, Hearn was forced to break the characters out of their predefined personalities. To have the prophecy come true, certain characters had to act out of character. When they've been defined in a certain

WARNING! Animal cruelty in the last few chapters.

Im about 50Pages into it and its making me crazy! I had to get on here to see if I was the only one. I thought that if the text re-explaining

This book is both brilliantly written and immensely frustrating. This is one of those books, especially if you have read the preceding trilogy, that will grip you like all properly crafted books will. The book draws you back into the feudal Japan inspired world of the Otori and crafts a thrilling tragedy. Minor spoilers below.While I personally find tragedies born from miscommunication trying (the desire to smack some of the characters with a rolled up newspaper for being thick was overwhelming)

I'll try do do this without spoilers, though the major flaws in this book are storytelling and plot.There were ominous overtones early on, so I decided I was OK if everything just fell apart, after all, that is how the Heiki Monogatari ends. I'm not saying it ends that way, but I was prepared.I was not prepared for it to be boring and confusing. People head out to various places for various reasons and if you don't already know where Hagi and Hofu are in relation to each other, too bad, because

Well ... what a way to destroy your characters ... if you enjoyed the original trilogy and have any attachment to the characters, you might want to skip this one. Kaoru and Takeo especially behave so out of character and not in a good way. They're stupid and naive for the sake of drama.

This is what I was afraid of. I loved and was extremely satisfied with the trilogy, particularly its bitter-sweet ending. It just felt right. I should have stopped there. Then there was this book, which was much more bitter than sweet in so many ways. Yet with all the bitterness in this book, it was incredibly well done and I don't regret reading it.Sixteen years has come and gone since the end of the last book. All the characters I came to know in the trilogy are old, still viable in a lot of
