I'm hoping that the combination of this and volume 9 will be so good that I bump it up to five stars. On it sown it was great, but it's the first book in the series that felt like it ended in the middle of a story (which it did, it's part one of a two part story).

Well, now Rin and Manji are finding themselves wanted, dead or alive, not only by the Itto-Ryu, but by the shogunate as well. So, now they need to find a way to get out of Edo through the heavily guarded checkpoints, while also avoiding the agents of the Itto-Ryu.

slower pace than previous volumes, but there is still action at the end of the book.
