Stormdancer
by Jay Kristoff
It is such a quick decision that i will not read this books trilogy in the future. I know the blurb is kinda interesting steampunk - Dystopian world setting in Japan/China. However i can't ignore such as grammatical error for "HAI" and "SAMA":
SAMA :
"That is more than fair." [...] "Ameterasu bless your kindness, sama."
"I want for nothing. Thank you, sama."
"He slew Boukyaku, young sama. The sea dragon who consumed the island of Takaiyama."
"Honor to you, great sama."
"What is Raijin song, sama?"
"Forgiveness, sama."
"Apologies, sama."
HAI :
"These cloudwalkers were men of the kitsune clan, hai?"
"I have no doubt of your success. The man who stood beside my father as he slew the last nagaraja of Shima will not be trouble by a simple thunder tiger, hai?"
"You must keep it secret." [...] "It is a gift, hai, but it is not one to be squandered..."
"The solitude is pleasant, hai?"
"I can get into the trees, hai."
"Just deck-hands on a sky-ship, hai?"
I am getting annoyed read that parts and There are other things that i don't like even before i read this books!
Q2. How much research did you have to do with regards to authenticity?
Less than people seem to think. It’s kinda odd – I’ve had people ask if I did a degree in Japanese studies, but the closest I’ve come is reading all six volumes of AKIRA in a week. Maybe I’d picked up a lot of detail through film and manga that I’ve consumed down through the years, but Wikipedia was really my go-to-guy. I have a friend who lives in Japan who I bounce ideas off too. I pay him with the promise of booze.

I just wanna say thank you to Cyna since i can make a decision to put this one into my bookshelves as "Will-not-read"
