A review by kseftila
Katana of Trust by A.C. Ward
3.0
The one that does not fight can never win
2.5
I don't really know how to make a synopsis about this books so without spoilers so: The main characters are Shou and Masaru.Japan.Kami.A tengu.Historical fiction.The end.
First of all,I really liked the writing.I could feel that the author loved writing every piece of it and loved crafting the entire world so we stan that.
My main issue is the relationship between the two main characters.The most part of the book takes place in a day(I think) and it seemed to me that they developed a friendship waaaayyyyy to fast than it takes,especially for Shou,a girl who has spent the most part of her life on an island surrounded by kami and away from humans.
Also,I didn't really like Masaru's thoughts towards women but from what I understood he has a reason behind these thoughts and it was normal for this time of period to think like that????I don't remember exactly but I have a feeling he'll turn into the greatest simp the world has ever knew
AAHH something else that i forgot:I would have preferred Shou wasn't for the most part a damsel in distress...because she grew up training and surviving on an island away from civilisation and and and and you'd think that she'd be a better fighter than the samurais but they are always there for her aid.Thankfully she stands up for herself towards the end and rejects Masaru's protection but it'd be nice to see her fight with her vines without someone (*coughs* Masaru) having her back or something.
Here's something irrelevant: For some reason,I imagined Shou as Mumei and Kurusu(plus an eye patch) from KIF

I think it'd be much more interesting if Makoto had brainwashed Shou that humans were vile and evil,causing her to doubt herself if she must save Masaru and all that.I think it went too fast for my tasteAlso,I didn't really like Masaru's thoughts towards women but from what I understood he has a reason behind these thoughts and it was normal for this time of period to think like that????I don't remember exactly but I have a feeling he'll turn into the greatest simp the world has ever knew
