I really like this series. The variety of cultures they cover is so fascinating, and I particularly love Chinese and Japanese history, so this one was great. ( )

For me this was one of the better books in the series. I got drawn in right away, the pacing was right, the story line was good, I connected to the main character. Everything seemed to be done right. There were just some parts that seemed to drawn out and because of that I rate this 4.5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this book. It's very good. ( )

I absolutely love the entire Royal Diaries series. They are all incredibly brilliant. MY favorite are Jahanara, Eleanor and Lady of Ch'iao Kuo. They're a great way to learn history. ( )

Princess Kazunimya, half sister to the Emperor of Japan, writes in her diary and in poems the confusing events occurring in the Imperial palace in 1858, including political and romantic intrigue.

I really like this book has the things I love about Japan it has drama it's about this princess in Japan that has a big problem their saying she has to marry someone that she doesn't want to marry and then everything goes wrong when her mom gets marryed ( )
