I loved this book it was a great start to a series I will be reading more of soon. The characters were interesting I especially loved Miyo and Kiyoka I really love how their relationship is slowly growing and Miyo is slowly gaining back her confidence among other things. I loved Miyo she was a wonderful and kind person who was so abused that she second guesses everything she is now slowly healing and learning to trust and that someone will actually love her despite what she calls failings. I really liked Kiyoka even with his gruff demeanor there is much more to him he is kind and caring and willing to go above and beyond to help Miyo. I loved the plot it starts with Miyo being treated like trash and less than human she yearns to escape this she then learns she has been sold off to someone she doesn't know that has unsavory rumors about him her family is terrible her step mother and half sister most of all she then meets Kiyoka there is misunderstandings but he is not all bad like she thought many other things happen her trash family is taken care of looking forward to reading more soon.
