When Mamoru learns of the lies and deception his empire has spread through propaganda, he is morally distraught with defending his country in the face of the enemy. Mamoru has always known his purpose: to master his family’s fighting techniques and defend his homeland. We follow two characters throughout this story: fourteen year old Mamoru and her mother Misaki. The story takes place on a mountainside at the edge of the Kaigenese Empire live the most powerful warriors in the world, superhumans capable of raising the sea and wielding blades of ice as is the blood technique of the legendary Matsuda family. The story will resonate with you for days upon completion with the brutality and shock of warfare will not wither from the depths of my mind. Wang has accomplished something in one standalone novel that a lot of authors couldn’t fit into a trilogy. Complex, brutal, unforgiving, and down right mesmerizing is how I walked away from this masterpiece with my head held high for the future of the fantasy genre. ![]() It is with great pleasure and a fully broken heart that I present to you my experience reading The Sword of Kaigen by M.L. ![]()
