Okay so I couldn't resist after all. Worry about papers tomorrow, read today! I've been at it for three hours and I'm 150 pages in, with 309 left to go. It's not as long as it sounds -- the pages are small (tokyopop-sized) and the print is large, so there are probably only around 250 words per page. It's also a very easy read, slightly easier than Diana Wynn Jones, definitely easier than Tanith Lee. I just happen to be an extremely slow reader. (You wouldn't believe how long it takes me to read for class. Four-five hours a day, these days.)
Oh right, The Sea of Shadows is the first novel in Fuyumi Ono's Twelve Kingdoms series, translated by by everyone's favorite videogame dialog artist Alexander O. Smith (should I wave?) and adapted into English by Elye J. Alexander. If I had to say in one line what Sea of Shadows is about, I'd say it's about learning to live up to your potential -- in this case, learning to be a kick-ass assertive female lead.

Annnd the the computer lab people are kicking me out, so I'll stop here. Spoileriffic commentary to come once I've finished the book.
EDIT- Got to the end and I've got a host of things to talk about, but for now I'll just say this: did Keiki have that kind of personality in the original? I submit that he did not.
