Product Description:
Born in Japan and raised as a human, Taiki is overwhelmed when he's brought back to the kingdom of Tai, where he's told he's a kirin. With little knowledge or guidance, he must trust his latent instincts to choose a king for the Kingdom of Tai from among dozens of men and women who seek the position. Will the frustrated Taiki, who can't even figure out how to transform into animal form, make the right choice? And more important, will he discover the kirin that lives within?

This is a great book if you've been watching the anime. The book is much more in depth and finishes up a lot of loose ends in the anime. If you liked the anime, you'll love the book.

O produto é ótimo. A entrega foi feita antes do prazo previsto. Mas atenção: as pãginas do livro são de papel simples, parecem de HQ. A capa dura não é plstificada, é rústica mas muito bonita, vermelha com detalhes em baixo relevo. E possui uma "capa" externa de papel plastificado colorido com a imagem azul que aparece na foto do produto.

While I may be older than the target audience for this series, I honestly enjoyed the book just as I did the first. A quick, entertaining and engaging read. If you like anime, if you like fantasy worlds, then this series of novels from Fuyumi Ono could probably be for you.

Being a fan of the anime also called the twelve kingdoms I wanted to know more about this world. I have found the very first two books to be a great read. Sea of the Wind follows Taiki, the grey kirin. This book is close to the anime. Or should I say that the anime has closely followed the book in this volume. This book has deepend my understanding of what occured at this point in the story. If your a fan of the twelve kingdoms, or in ulternate worlds with fantasy origins than this book is for you.

After waiting for a year, finally I have this novel.
Such a cute story. It is much more relax than the very first book about our empress of Kei, Youko. May be it is because of the innocent of Taiki.
The translation are really good, but I do not like the translation for some specific terms of Twelve kingdoms cause they do not give the original meaning.
There are few funny scenes that its anime cannot make it look funny, and of course, the novel is different to its anime. However, this difference does not make it bad at all. We do not need to have Youka telling us Taiki's feeling, we still can understand them very clearly through the story.
For 12 kingdoms fan, it is a must.
