The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang
4.5
Rating: 4.5 stars
I was in an Asian-inspired fantasy mood after reading the entire Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee, and it was either this book or rereading The Poppy War, (which I still intend to do one day) and I am glad I chose The Sword of Kaigen because it well and truly lived up to my expectations. There is a lot of hype surrounding this book online, and that put me off it for awhile, (I have been burned in the past with internet recommendations) but I finally go around to it and I now wonder why I waited so long.
