Book Reviews of The Twelve Kingdoms, Volume 1: Sea of Shadow
Book Review: Another good thing out of Japan...
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the anime series that was created from the story of this book and its sequels. So I was sure I would love this book.
It is a well-written and well-thought out alternate world that sucks you right in. If you liked the anime and love to read, then you will definitely like this book. The translation seems good and flows well and I can't wait for the next one to come out!
Book Review: Astonishingly good
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't put this book down. I stayed up all night to finish it, and went to work the next morning like a zombie. The story is extremely well-written and the translation is handled perfectly. I did not expect the character development to be so in-depth--this book is a must-read for both children and adults. I can't wait for Book 2 to come out!Book Review: A Great story for Adults and Teens
Summary: 5 Stars
If you've seen the anime, you know this is a great story. I was so excited that the English translation finally came out. I couldn't put it down, and I can't wait until the rest of the books are translated. You won't be sorry you read this...it's probably one of my favorite books of all time, and I don't read all that much fiction.Book Review: Try it

Since viewing the anime I have been a big fan of the series. It was with eager anticipation that I hoped someone would publish the novel series. It does not disappoint. Once I started this novel I did not put it down until I finished it. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of fantasy, epic, or mythic stories.Book Review: Outstanding !
