Samurai Girl: The Book of the Sword

Reader reviewed by Minnie

This electric novel kickstarts the Samurai Girl series, leaving you yearning for more. With its cute, but not dating, Pop Culture refrences, its twisting plot, its heart-wrenching romances, and a character so vivid, you experience her falls, her triumphs, and her fear, this book is a must-read. I have read this book at least twenty times, and I dont even own it!

Five out of Five, Ten Stars, two Thumbs Up, whatever you call it, Asai EARNS it, nothing less, with her series. You wanna be a writer?

Read, and learn.

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.
