  4. Those who know me know that one of my favourite animes of all time is Rurouni Kenshin So when the author contacted me and offered me this book in exchange for review, I read the premise and accepted immediately The samurai, Sun Xin, most definitely reminds me of Kenshin Known to those watching dubbed versions of anime as Samurai X He doesn t serve anyone in particular, he s sort of a vigilante with legendary skills among the criminals but to his master he is still an errant student The one who l [...]

  7. This book is well thought out and has a pretty clever plot There s a wonderful blend of modern fantasy elements with the good ol fashioned Wuxia Kung Fu content I really enjoyed the addition of actual historical elements and characters The characters are well thought out though the dialogue for each of them could be a tad unique Good use of description, and detailed action sequences and big battles This would make a great movie or series Was really delighted to see Medieval China depicted in su [...]

  8. This book didn t grab me Perhaps it is aimed at a younger male audience with kung fu dreams of flight fight from tree tops The unedited grammar also gave me pause But I cannot fault the author for his imaginative vision of the Ming Dynasty and otherworldly evil His characters have range and there is plenty of action with just the right amount of Zen philosophy to introduce to adrenaline fueled readers.An advanced copy of this book was provided for an honest review.
