The Dragon: Clan War, Sixth Scroll

poor condition for the price, very disappointing book is readable, but not at all put it in the collection worthy. front and back covers bent, pages folded in I re ordered copy, but the order was canceled, instead of credit for this one. so i paid for this copy, not too happy with the out come.

I think this book is good BECAUSE the dragon lose their mystery and wonder. This book puts the Dragon totally out of it's element. I think she writes the families in the clan well. The Togashi are still full of mystery and riddles. The Mirumoto are warriors who respect that mystery and would love to posess that knowledge, but don't quite understand it. I will say that it can get a little dry, but hey, it's the calm (kinda calm, don't forget Beiden Pass) before the storm baby! Good book. Shows the maturation of Himtomi, Yakamo, Toturi, and the degradation of the Hantei. Good book, don't listen to them.

Dragon was one of the better stories so far, but I suspect that it would be better to read Crab before Dragon. THe stories very much go together. The Dragon have long contemplated the empire, and had a very important, though understated impact on the Scorpion actions. The story follows the heroine throughout her career, through the forces that molded her, and the lessons she had to learn to obtain some of her potential. It has enough mysticism inherrent between its covers to satisfy the profile of such an eccentric clan, and handles this well. Internally the Dragon Clan suffers growing pains when it rejoins the workings of the Rokkugan Empire, as those that have long been contemplative take action. This too is handled well. Even if you are not a fan of the Legend of the Five Rings series, it is a good read, and I would recommend it to any that is interested in fiction in the style of the far east. If you have not read Crab (Clan War ¿ Fifth Sroll), I would strongly suggest reading it first, though not imperative, it will add flavor to the meat of Dragon (Clan War ¿ Sixth Scroll)

I have read all the other books up to this point and the end of this book left me wanting more. There was a lot of action and you really got to know the main character and what she was thinking. I feel if you like fantasy/ game related books you will really like this one here.
