I was lucky enough to receive some advance reader copies of some novel from our local bookstore. Inexchange, I agreed to review the books for them. I have decided to write the reviews on my blog. This way, more people will be able to read them.
I started with "The Block Lotus: The Samurai Wars" by Kieran Fanning. Here is what I thought.
Title: The Black Lotus: The Samurai Wars
Author: Kieran Fanning
Genre: Fantasy
Release Date: September 27th, 2016
Summary:An evil samurai empire is taking control of the world. The leader of the empire is looking for a sword guarded by a secret group of ninjas. This group of ninjas, called The Black Lotus, is made up of members with special powers recruited from around the world. The story follows three young recruits as they travel back to sixteenth-century Japan to recover the Moon sword when it is stollen.
Was it any good?:
The story was thrilling when the kids storm a sixteenth-century castle to get the moon sword. Each chapter is from a new perspective from one of the trio of friends. The story got unexciting when damage happened to a country which was being attacked by the empire and I heard about it from three different points of view. I would change the story by having the ninja use more ninjutsu and less technology.
Who would like it?:
People who like fantasy should give this book a try, people who like action even more so. People who like both are in for a treat.
Overall recommendation:
I give this four out of five fingers.
