I heard that this is like a Avatar with Samuri mixed in story. Everyone on tiktok said this was amazing 5/5 story. Although this does have great messages, it’s not amazing IMO. Its still a good story and can’t wait to see what else this author writes.
Looking forward to this one since everyone was raving about it but it was disappointing. Took forever to get to the action part, which lasted a few chapters and then it slowed down again and dived into the politics of the story. Lots of loose threads left hanging, maybe for a possible sequel. Overall pace..
Review from The Sword of Kaigen: A Theonite War Story →
Good story and would definitely listen to another sequel. Hated the way she used alternate words for telling time as it could be confusing.
I was going to book for the excitement and destruction. I literally fell asleep not once but twice before half way in to the book. I don’t recommend this book.it had promise but was unbelievably unbelievable from minute one. Sorry but i literally deleted it from my library and wasted a credit.

Being 8 books in, I’m obviously enjoying the series. I think the weakest point for me is the dialogue. It’s all very simplistic, with little nuance or interest. Characters basically all fit one of a few molds, and I’d love to see a bit more thought put into the dialogue. It should be used for..
This was a very interesting story that had me very engaged for a large portion of the book, but with intermittent chapters that really didn’t connect with me. On the good side, I was hooked in chapters 1-5, I loved the action, and the story arcs for Mamoru, Misaki, and in the end, Takeru, were..
Review from The Grand Game, Book 1 →
I have listened too the first 5 books or so and the over arching story is really good and is the only reason I continue to listen, The reasons I keep wanting to stop listening is because the author talks to you like your an idiot and explains every even after it just happens, the..
