Rain by Amanda SunMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I have mixed feelings about this book, although I still liked it overall. I definitely enjoyed the deeper exploration of Kami mythology, which seemed to be the main focus. Kate...is, well, Katie. At least she seems to stay true to character in constantly making poor or illogical decisions. Yes, I understand Japanese culture isn't her native one, but there were decisions outside of cultural ones that just had me shaking my head. For example, decisions regarding that super-annoying love triangle (I seriously HATE love triangles. I have seen very few of them actually done in a way that doesn't make me want to shake the character and wonder why the heck she has to be so mean and disloyal. What would she do if a guy was doing that to her??). But she does seem to do some growing-up by the end of the book, so I have to give Katie some credit for that.
Definitely not a bad book, worth the time to read it if you enjoyed the first one. And I still want to read the next one to see what happens to this group.
