Title: Almost as crappy as the Crab book
Review: I've read all the L5R books, being a big fan of the setting, and the worst is by far the Crab book. This book, however, comes awfully close. The author shows little knowledge of the source material. The whole plot makes no sense for those who know quite a bit about the L5R world. (Why would Bayushi Yojiro openly authorize an entire army to kill Akoda Kaneka? Why would Naseru also be so open about it? Why would an Iuchi shugenja work for a scorpion daimyo? This Lion shugenja seems to be the most powerful magic-user alive, with no explanation or wonderment from the charectors.) Magic is also used a deus ex machina to solve all kinds of things. All the charectors and plot are shamelessly borrowed from Kurosawa movies. The book itself is quite boring, and the fight scenes(of which there are dozens)go on for WAY to long. On second thought, this IS the WORST L5R book, at least the Crab book didn't have inside jokes.
