Review: I was itching for a nice, short samurai fantasy, so I picked this up. I play the CCG/TCG regularly and am familiar with the characters presented in these novels from the recent expansion set, however I was fairly disappointed with this novel.In general, many of the named characters come in to serve as cameos and are given little to no character development. Even the main characters interact with dry dialogue which fails to break away from the author's voice.As a franchise novel, it does fine. It introduces the world of Kamigawa to the players and makes Toshiro Umezawa more than a 2/2 bushido'er w/ some fine looking card art.Fun for Magic players, but avid readers might want to look elsewhere, although the samurai fantasy genre tends to be a little hard to come by sometimes...
