Great female leads, great story!
A fantastical world based loosely on feudal Japan? Check. Two strong female leads? Check. Lots of katana fights. Check! I really enjoyed this one...the pacing keeps you turning the pages and I found all the characters distinct and interesting in their own right (I smell a love triangle approaching). It probably helped a little I did high school Japanese and understood some of the words for weapons, clothes and how people address each other but I honestly don't think it would be a problem if you didn't know any Japanese (and there's a handy glossary at the front. Definitely a recommended read from me
