Customer Reviews

Risk taking at it's best!

I'm not going to address this other review, as I completely disagree with this other readers assessment of "Wind of War". I have read the other L5R books, and I think this author takes a great risk with his imaginitive style, and unique story telling ability. The book is great, entertaining, and I will buy any other books this author writes in the future. It is such a great read, and I highly recommend it! Great job Jess Lebow!

Riveting!!

A stunning book. I couldn't put it down! I loved the way the author moved between time segments and his characterization is soooo real!!!
