Reviews

PRAISE FOR THE NOVELS OF THE FATED BLADES "Amazingly well-crafted."--Diana Rowland, author of Touch of the Demon "There's no doubting the authenticity of Bein's creation as he elegantly binds all the elements together."--Kirkus Reviews "A noir modern Tokyo overwhelmed by the shadows of Japanese history...a compelling multifaceted vision of a remarkable culture, and a great page-turner."--Stephen Baxter, author of Iron Winter "An authentic and riveting thrill ride through both ancient and modern Japan. Definitely a winner."--Kylie Chan, author of Heaven to Wudang "Bein's gripping debut is a meticulously researched, highly detailed blend of urban and historical fantasy set in modern Tokyo....Bein's scrupulous attention to verisimilitude helps bring all the settings to life, respectfully showcasing Japan's distinctive cultures and attitudes."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
