Review Detail of readmedottxt in Under the Oak Tree

The characters are so very real and the world is fully lived-in. I had a hard time reading the first few chapters at first because of the inherent fear and anger, but I'm glad I kept reading. This story is such a gem - masterful writing with flawed but sympathetic characters in an epic setting. The translation also does a good job bringing forth all the feelings in the vernacular. I had previously read the story on Ridibooks, and am so happy to see this officially translated to bring in new fans. I still hope and pray for a print release.
