Never Die by Rob J. Hayes
5.0
This is going to be one of the most unforgettable books I’ve ever read. It surpassed well beyond anything I expected, and I hardly express how much I’ve come to love it. A tale of warriors, heroes, and monsters that will leave any reader with a love for Asian folklore excited and eager for more.
The story starts off with a bang and never slows until it’s final moments. Slowly, readers are introduced to memorable characters, none of whom are like the other and whom all leave their mark, regardless of how later they enter the story. I can hardly choose a favourite, since they all bring their own eccentricities and codes to the story, but Itami Cho a powerful warrior woman that I was completely spellbound by.
Monsters and all manner of terrifying creature pursue our heroes, and push them to their limits. The action is intense and bloody and no one escapes unscathed. There is a twist ending that I didn’t see coming and will need some reflection, but at the end of the day, the entire book was just one giant treasure of a quest.
For anyone who loves Asian myths or legends, this is one you need to pick up and listen to. It’s haunting, bittersweet, exciting, and a truly unexpected gem of a story.
