Samurai of Hyuga Book 3 Reviews

The part of the series where the railroading kicks into high gear. You fight two of the five deamons in this book but both fights are one hell of an anticlimax as you fight and win outside of choices and its completly unsatisfactory. Your ronin is for the most of the second part utterley incompetent and you do not even get to kill the utterly despicable secondary villian. Seriously, why set up a confrontation like that and then have it go nowhere exept to get the ronin into the breakdown necessary for the next book. Alignments do not matter anymore outside of changing some lines. The second big problem is with the pacing. As a consequens of the no-climax in the last book, this book has two storys. First regarding the island-cliffhanger in the last book, then a complete new one. The new one isnt bad, heck its the second best in the series and introducing Kohaku a well written and interesting character. But thanks to the whole two storys part its underdevelopt, doesnt get enough time to set up and resolve and is seriously hampered by the railroading necessary for the ronins breakdown. Just wasted potential.
