Weeb wannabe writes about women empowerment in feudal Japan. Terrible book that I don’t understand how people raved about.

For the past few years most of my favorite book reviews have recommended it over and over again.But I didn’t believe them or didn’t really care to try it out. But now that I finally did it became one of my favorite books !

I love this exciting, action packed series. This book kept me on my toes. The character were realistic as was the story line.
