was pleasantly surprised - john does not have the best track record in depicting other races but there seemed to have been a lot of research done into japanese culture and warfare that was reflected in this book. a good ending to the main series

As possibly the last book in the Ranger's Apprentice series, I was kind of underwhelmed by everything. It was a great journey and was a total pleasure, but it did not have that resounding "final" effect. The adventures into the "Japan" like area of the book were interesting and very creative. I am sad to see this series end, but I am excited to read new things by John Flanagan.

This book is good, it just isn't that great & all the others are, so it pales a bit in comparison to them.
