Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Keshia

In Carrie Asai's "Samurai Girl: The Book of the Sword" we are introduced to a girl named Heaven Kogo the survivor of a plane crash in Japan. She was adopted by a famous business man and is now 19 forced into marriage with the sleazy son of a competing company when all chaos breaks. Ninjas come and kill her brother while her dad watches she runs into the night to meet her destiny and get revenge.

I liked the first person writing in the point of view of Heaven while there was also brief ones of the other characters. The drawings in the book are beautiful. And it had lots of pop culture references. Very great action/adventure/romance piece.

Great read.
