There are no quotation mark around the conversations and it's driving me nuts! It's such a good book, yet I'm getting confused because there is no punctuation to delineate conversations! Fix and I'll give it 5 starts!

I've just finished reading and I found it a nice change in the fantasy genre. The world that Chris Wooding creates seems to be based on old Japan culture. The story has a nice flow to it and enough depth to keep you intrigued.
