5.0
Once again, I'm impressed with how each individual story focuses on some completely different aspect of Japanese life and history. It's impossible to predict what will come next, and unlike many longrunning series, we don't see the characters in the same situations over and over again, but in strange, new positions all the time. Especially impressive since this is still a book about an assassin traveling and doing his dark work. The duels are often similar, but they're just set pieces, the real story is in the world and the people, which are never the same thing twice. It's like a master class in how to keep a story fresh without completely changing its formula.
