A review by amyleannefg
Dragon Sword and Wind Child by Noriko Ogiwara
4.0
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I felt that it was very reminiscent of classic Western fantasy, but with unique cultural differences. I loved the characters of Saya and Chihaya, as well as a few side characters.
I feel this book was a tiny bit slow at the beginning, but it was so atmospheric and beautifully written (and translated) that I fell in love with it. It had the elements of adventure, political intrigue, discussion of deities and immortality, myth and a unique fantasy element central to the plot (the dragon sword, the water maiden etc.). Brilliant.
