For high-schooler Yoko Nakajima, life has been fairly ordinary--that is until Keiki, a young man with golden hair, tells Yoko they must return to their kingdom. Once confronted by this mysterious being and whisked away to an unearthly realm, Yoko is left with only a magical sword; a gem; and a million questions about her destiny, the world she's trapped in, and the world she desperately wants to return to.

Review of 'The twelve kingdoms' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

It was okay. There was a lot of time listening to the main character thinking to herself since she travelled alone so long. Several typical Japanese themes mentioned, but none explored in any satisfying way (feeling an alien in your own world, what makes someone human, etc). Quite a bit of violence, but no other objectionable material, really.
