Daughter of the Sword by Steve Bein

3.0

I am not terribly enthusiastic about this book. The story is interesting and I enjoyed jumping from modern Japan to previous points in history and back again. I also recognize that the author worked to keep the history accurate. I loved the personification of the swords. However, the characters felt a bit stereotypical and the conversation is dreadful in my opinion. The dialog is stilted at best. No way a hardened, drug-dealing, methhead is going to say "alrighty" when threatened by a cop. And who says "do come in" when answering the door, a line used in several places? With that said, I will probably try other stories by Steve Bein. He weaves a good tale.
