The story and characters are captivating and interesting. I just wish the author would have spent ten minutes researching Japanese family names, titles, and honorifics! You rarely find the title “father” without the honorific prefix O (great)…meaning it should be written Otou-San, not tousan (especially someone as important as a Matsuda) and no one except..
Review from The Sword of Kaigen: A Theonite War Story →
The audiobook actor did no research, and the book is written with so much Japanese that this is almost impossible to listen to. I know enough Japanese to find this confusing and offensive.

Weeb wannabe writes about women empowerment in feudal Japan. Terrible book that I don’t understand how people raved about.
The narrators voice made this listen difficult for me, but the story made me power through.
This band of survivors wouldn’t last 2 days in a real EMP disaster. Especially when one of the “hero’s” hits a bad with a tree branch and throes the bad guys gun into the bushes and continues on with the tree branch as a weapon. I mean, this is a good guide as to what..
Review from The Foundry: Book 1 →
The narration was off putting, the tone was not engaging. I listed to the end because it was a good story
