Heaven’s Net is Wide is a prequel to Lian Hearn's popular Tales of the Otori series. It recounts the life of Lord Shigeru from the age of 12 (the year in which Takeo is born). It begins with the murder of Kikuta Isamu, Takeo's father, and includes Shigeru's training with Matsuda Shingen, the battle of Yaegahara, the role of Muto Shizuka, the meeting with Lady Maruyama, and other events foreshadowing Across the Nightingale Floor. It concludes with Shigeru and Takeo's meeting which begins the series.

The point of this book is to provide the background to Lord Otori Shigeru, the teacher for the central hero, Takeo, in the prior 4 books. In [b:Across the Nightingale Floor Tales of the Otori 1|77160|Across the Nightingale Floor (Tales of the Otori, #1)|Lian Hearn|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1312502351s/77160.jpg|161332], Shigeru was an odd character because the reasoning is not quite clear. This book provides the details to better understand why.

Sadly, I still do not care very much.
