4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting story line, but no action., Jan 24 2004

This review is from: Blade Of The Immortal (Paperback)

There aren't really any action scenes worth talking about in this novel. Rin does a few things, but she doesn't actually "fight". There is a story about this guy and his masks, but that isn't fully developed until the next volume.

This isn't a great place to start for your first volume. It mostly just develops story, but the story is important. Start somewhere else though. Get DREAMSONG if you can't fight a good seller for BLOOD OF A THOUSAND.

Those who already own the previous volumes of BOTI could skip this book and the next possibly. It develops Rin some, but I skipped it for a while and was fine.

This review is from: Blade Of The Immortal (Paperback)

I bought this book from here at Amazon, thinking that it was first in the series because it says 'volume 1' on it. That is NOT true. This is in actuality volume 4 or 5--it is the first of two PARTS called 'On Silent Wings', but it does not start the series. Now, due to a mistake, I must go back and get the other books before this one so I can have some understanding of what is going on.

This looks to be a good series, and I look forward to reading the rest of it, but it would have saved me some hassle if I had known that this is not actually volume 1.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful art with an intellectual twist
The first time I looked at the Blade of the Immortal series, I seriously thought "Oh wonderful, another cheesy, gore ridden series with no plot and ... artwork. Read more
