It is a bloody journey, where two samurais with a devastating past, a Viking, a geisha, and a group of survivors try surviving in a zombie apocalypse.

No one is safe on this journey, where zombies are not always the worst threat.

Excellent performance

I was engaged by the reader, even though i am not a fan of this genre.

Unique

I enjoyed most of the characters there are quite a few but the main ones go through good development and the side ones too its a unique samurai and zombie story to be sure

Exciting Zombie Apocalypse!

This is like Memoirs of a Geisha meets The Walking Dead!! Zombies! Samurais! Fighting with Swords! The apocalypse! How can you not love this !!? A+

samurai and zombies, what more could you ask for?!

I thoroughly enjoyed the story. A couple good twists. Some of the character arcs were superb(mainly Saito hah) well definitely follow for part 2

Enjoyed it!

I enjoyed this book and it was a fun listen. I really enjoyed "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" and was also a Walking Dead fan, so it's not surprising I enjoyed this. Adding the genre of the Japanese history and samurais is a fun twist. I do recommend it for anyone who enjoys Asian fantasy and zombie apocalypse books.

My only issue with this book is that it had so many characters and with names that were similar. I had a hard time keeping up with who was who. For instance there are three characters named (spelling phonetically since I listened to it) Keto, Kayto, and Kajee. And there was also Sayto, Saya, Satori. There were so many characters, at one point someone was mentioned and I said, "what, he's still alive?"

Overall however, I did enjoy the book and would recommend it to folks who like these genres.
