nigellicus 's review for:

The Black Lotus by Kieran Fanning
5.0

In a world dominated by the Samurai Empire, three children are recruited into a secret ninja army, part of a resistance network that guards a stolen sword coveted by Lord Goda. Cormac, Ghost and Kate all have amazing powers, but will they be enough when the sword is taken from their hidden school and refuge and they find themselves plunged back in time in a desperate race to save the last free corner of the world?

Amazing, cinematic adventure, full of groovy tech and strange magic as well as friendship and courage and heroism. paced like a bullet, the pages fly by until the final epic battle. One senses we are only scratching the surface of the secrets and mysteries if this world and I look forward to more blazing ninja action in future volumes.
