This book was not as good as both parts of Itachi's Story, and frankly, if not for my students who asked me to read it, I would have abandoned it in the first thirty pages or so. I tend to be forgiving with translations and word choice, but this pushed the boundaries of what I was willing to accept. It seemed childish in narrative compared to Itachi's Story. Still, the end makes up for some of what the rest of the story lacks. If you're looking for some insight into Sasuke and what might come after the end of the Naruto manga, then you'll enjoy this book despite its flaws.
