Much like the first book, The Heavenward Path is enchanting and sweet and set in Heian Japan. If you are looking for an absolute conclusion to the story, this will not fulfill that desire, but will leave you with a little more to wonder about.
It continues the story of the Little Sister, when she's a bit older and trying to find her way to the Heavenward Path by being a Buddhist nun. Her family isn't happy with her decision, neither is her tengu friend because he cannot get close to religious ground or religious scrolls.
As curious and adventure-loving as she is, however, you can't expect her to sit in prayer all day, and once again she goes off on a magical adventure. This time, though, instead of searching for the older sister, she is searching for the path for the Little Sister. I can't say if she finds it or not, I would be happy with a third book, but if you loved the first one you will want to read this one!
