A review by bookmerized
Origins by Isamu Fukui

2.0

Well, I had a student lend this to me (sorry Sruthi!)…and I may have given it one star, but it was written by a 15 year old, and I respect how well done it was for someone at that age. I thought there was too much action and not enough backstory. I liked that Umasi eventually redeemed himself even if it was through negative means. However, I didn't really understand WHY the government was so terrible or WHY Zen was so upset. The overall language to me seemed kind of forced and disjointed. Sorry Sruth, but I shall never tell a lie about a book :)
