Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Disciple of the Wind (Fated Blades #3)

LETHAL JUSTICE

When Tokyo falls victim to a deadly terrorist attack, Detective Sergeant Mariko Oshiro knows who is responsible, even if she doesn’t have proof. She urges her commanding officers to arrest the perpetrator—an insane zealot who was just released from police custody. When her pleas fall on deaf ears, she loses her temper and then her badge, as well as her best chance of fighting back.

Left on her own, and armed with only her cunning and her famed Inazuma blade, Mariko must work outside the system to stop a terrorist mastermind. But going rogue draws the attention of an underground syndicate known as the Wind. For centuries, they have controlled Japanese politics from the shadows, using mystical relics to achieve their nefarious ends—relics like Mariko’s own sword and the iron demon mask whose evil curse is bound to the blade. Now the Wind is set on acquiring Mariko.

Mariko is left with a perilous choice: Join an illicit insurgency to thwart a deadly villain, or remain true to the law. Either way, she cannot escape her sword’s curse. As sure as the blade will bring her to victory, it also promises to destroy her….

Evaluation Containing Books Disciple of the Wind (Fated Blades #3)

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Now that I have finished book three, I see the ending has been left open for another book. I surely hope there will be a fourth novel. I've greatly enjoyed the jumps back in time, looking at the AzuchiMomoyama period of Japanese culture. Steve Bein has done his research well and has a real gift for drawing the reader back to the time of the Samurai and the code of Bushido. The story of Daigoro reaches a conclusion that I won't spoil. His brush with the wind

This is a great fusion of historical fiction and a modern day crime/cop drama.The author has clearly done a lot of research while writing and developing this book and this series. Both the modern day and historical plots show evidence of this. While I am hardly any kind of authority on anything Japanese there is still a distinct difference between someone who is simply a fan of Japan and someone who truly knows, understands and has researched the culture, people, and setting they are writing

A contemporary adventure and historical fantasy about doing the right thing, making hard choices, loyalty, learning that sometimes you are only what you can make yourself believe you are, fate vs. free will, and individual rights vs. the greater good. There is danger, suspense, terrorist attacks, police investigation, philosophical discussions about honor and morality, and mystical (or divine) mask and blades.

Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy.You know you've read a really good book when you finally put it down and want to re-read it right away just to be immersed in the world again. DISCIPLE OF THE WIND is one such book. DISCIPLE OF THE WIND has everything you'd want in a thriller from frantic chases, diabolical city destroying plots, and compelling characters you want to root for. I especially liked the fact that it is set in Japan as it was great to read a novel set in a place I don't

Omg this book. First let me say I did not realize that this was the third book in the series but I decided to read it anyways. Plus through the book there's mentions of things that have happened in other books with a little detailing to link it so I didn't feel lost. What I really really enjoyed was the historical aspect of the story. And how it links to the present. And how the author switches between past and present without making you feel lost and confused. It was fun and action packed. I

Exciting follow up and the quality didn't drop. However, a personal desire: if the author considers a sequel, I hope it would feature new set of characters.Great series in general.
