A review by sachis2112
The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. Wang

challenging dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated

3.5

The first 200 pages were SLOW and hard to follow all the jumping around. I very nearly gave up. Once the battle started, it suddenly became a really great book. I just wish it were that way from the start.
