Masterfully combining fantasy, science fiction and Japanese mythology, the sequel to Kojiki takes us into the heart of a war that spreads across the worlds.
On the planet of Higo, without the guidance of the Great Spirits, its people are descending into religious civil war. Baiyren Tallaenaq, Prince of Higo, is exiled after causing the death of his mother. Freed from his responsibilities and the looming war, he steals their greatest weapon - a giant, sentient, armoured suit - and uses it to open a Portal to a world he never knew existed. A world called 'Earth͟'...home of a magical young woman called Keiko. File Under: Fantasy [ Worlds Beyond - The God Machines - Through the Portal - A Singular Girl ]"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
"If you're interested in fantasy, giant mechs, or even love stories with strong characters, I highly recommend Kokoro. 5 hoots!"
- Purple Owl Reviews
"Kokoro promises a gorgeous, rich new world and an exciting story."
- Syfy Wire
"Ultimately, Kokoro delivers a fast-paced adventure, sweeping us off our feet and into the world of Higo. Delving into new worlds and characters, we see through their eyes and they make their way into our hearts astonishing us with their love, humbling us with their bravery, and making us weep with their pain. While on the surface we see a tale about heroism, action, and finding your calling, beneath we find a story of forgiveness, inner truth, and finding our family."
- Utopia State of Mind
"Kokoro is the sequel to Keith Yatsuhashi's book Kojiki and continues where it ended with its masterful blend of Japanese folklore and science fiction. In many ways it is a manga or anime in purely written form and those familiar with that form of storytelling and the tropes that guide that very genre will enjoy it immensely. The difference between the sequel and its predecessor is that Kojiki more felt like an adventure novel, related to tales like Spirited Away, while Kokoro is more reminiscent of Robotech or Knights of Sidonia."
- WARG
"I recommend this book for readers who like a mix of fantasy and science fiction."
