Items related to The Harsh Cry of the Heron: The Last Tale of the Otori:...
The Harsh Cry of the Heron is the fourth book in the Tales of the Otori series by Lian Hearn. Don't miss the related series, The Tale of Shikanoko. A dazzling epic of warfare and sacrifice, passionate revenge, treacherous betrayal, and unconquerable love, The Harsh Cry of the Heron takes the storytelling achievement of Lian Hearn's fantastic medieval Japanese world to startling new heights of drama and action. Fifteen years of peace and prosperity under the rule of Lord Otori Takeo and his wife Kaede is threatened by a rogue network of assassins, the resurgence of old rivalries, the arrival of foreigners bearing new weapons and religion, and an unfulfilled prophecy that Lord Takeo will die at the hand of a member of his own family. The Harsh Cry of the Heron is the rich and stirring finale to a series whose imaginative vision has enthralled millions of readers worldwide, and an extraordinary novel that stands as a thrilling achievement in its own right.

Review:
Much to enjoy – treacherous plots, possession by the spirits, cracking battle scenes, and Lian Hearn writes with a delicate attention to detail that creates an all-encompassing world around her characters. (Sunday Telegraph)
[The Harsh Cry of the Heron] builds to a climax that proves both fittingly cataclysmic and wholly satisfying. (Independent on Sunday)
An exquisite story . . . An involving adventure. (Daily Telegraph)
Gorgeously violent, complex and well-written. (The Times)

Lian Hearn is an amazing author. She can write believably and movingly about war and peace, love, poetry, politics, philosophy, nature, realism and magic and weave them all into a compelling plot of grace, compolexity and simplicity. I well remember when I first read Across the Nightigale Floor, the first of the otori books. I knew within a few pages that here was an author who had written a novel that was destined to become a classic, to be read as avidly many years from now. The Harsh Cry of Heron is the sequel to the three volumes of the Tales of the Otori. It is just as beautiful, poignant, frightening and compelling as Lian's earlier novels. Please read it. I know you'll enjoy it.
