Warrior by Ellen Oh
4.0
Warrior, the second volume in Ellen Oh's young adult fantasy trilogy, continues to entertain. The warrior in question, protagonist Kang Kira, shows every sign of being the prophesied Dragon Musado, a warrior of great power, and her cousin, Prince Taejo, the foretold king who will unite the seven kingdoms. However, at the moment, they are orphans, their parents dead at the hands of invaders allied with demons, and as this novel opens, the king who offered to give them shelter and protection is killed by a demon curse forcing them to flee once more.
To before she can wield her power fully, Kira must complete a hero's quest by finding three magical objects of power. She has already located one of these object, but two more remain. So Kira and Taejo set out with a small band of companions to complete her quest - but Kira's other task is to keep the prince and herself alive.
Fun, and all the more interesting because it is grounded in Korean history, folklore and culture.
