I actually did not know much about the mythology and legend that fuels this story, so it was incredibly fun to catch up. The pace is excellent. The characters are well-rounded. And the narrator is awesome. This is a delight.

Awesome Story! I want more!!!

I enjoy this story of the brotherhood of the Samurais. Their once beloved Dojo or Buddhist training was a crazy twist reminds me to add zombies to the story. Great adventures! I love the read!

Just fascinating read

This book is simply amazing - the fantasy elements, the horror undertone and the adventure! The Japanese mythology makes it even more engaging read. The characters feel real and they makes it even more interesting. Recommended for people who loves the samurai folklore

A good story

There were a few distracting quirks about the story that threw me off such as the mixing of cultural histories and mythologies. It didn't hampper my enjoyment of the story itself though it did have me double checking Eastern history.

The use of descriptive metaphor shines when the scene calls for it but it does overall feel a little overused. it slows pace of the story somewhat.

When the story shifted into horror is when it gets the most interesting.

Decent fantasy horror

But are there Chinese Samurai? Seems like for a story of Chinese mythological influences there was a lot of Japanese influence.
