The Sword of Kaigen: A Theonite War Story

It's Shogun meets Avatar the last Airbender in a sense. Wang attaches you to these characters and leaves you wanting more.

7.5 - really liked it but it left me with a bit of a disappointment. An interesting world with elemental powers in a samurai type culture. Not a fan of the ending, feels like part of it should have been edited out, but still a good read.

I wasn't sure about this book in the first 40% or so, but it really picked up in the middle and I got very attached to the characters (that I wasn't too keen on in the first half).

The character development in this book was one of the best I've seen and the story really tugged at my heart strings and had me crying on more than one occasion. Wang's writing is beautiful and I found myself utterly engrossed in the world she had created.

Before reading this, I watched several reviews on YouTube that were absolutely glowing.

After reading it for myself, not to say the reviewers didn't do a great job, but guys - there are literally no words to describe how wonderful and amazing this book truly is. I won't even try, I will just say that this one is worth collecting.

Get ready to have your heart put through the wringer of emotions, especially if you're a mama, but it is SO WORTH IT

Will forver be my favorite book! Wish i could experience this book for the first time again!
