Forbidden Tales: Sword (The Forbidden Bookstore)

Da Chen

On the morning of Miu Miu's fifteenth birthday, her mother makes a startling revelation: Miu Miu's fate is to travel to the faraway city of Chang'an, avenge her father's death, and find her true love. But the evil emperor has other plans for her. Defeating him will take all of Miu Miu's courage, wit, and martial arts experience.

Master storyteller Da Chen paints a vivid portrait of his native land in this classic tale of honor, adventure, and romance in ancient China.

Quote-leftWell written, but somewhat gory tale set in ancient China. Miu Miu is a strong female heroine (though she's unconscious during an important segment near the end, when it's her fiance who steps in to fight).

I felt the long prologue about the forbidden bookstore was unnecessary. Why not just get right into Miu Miu's story?

Compelling enough to read in one sitting.Quote-right
