Best one so far.

Great story, loved the courier rap battle. Look forward to listening to future story’s and now I want to go back and re listen to the past story’s to see if I missed anything.

Shin delivers

Once again, a very entertaining read/listen. Shin continues to investigate mysteries in his own way. Love the dialogue of these books.

Charming characters, if a little fantastic

Daidoji Shin's series offers a kaleidoscope of characteristic individuals operating in the rich tapestry of the world of Legend of the Five Rings. The story is compelling and entertaining, and I will be sad to see the series end.

Vague spoilers below:

If I have any criticism, it is that adversarial characters, even those who are of opposing factions or who have a vested interest in keeping secrets, seem to open up to the protagonist as soon as he flutters his fan. The motivation of "he said something clever, therefore I like him a little more now" feels a little thin, but it was not so much of a distraction that I didn't enjoy the read.

Fantastic!

Great pacing, great story, great voice acting. what else can I say; it wad Great!

Great Stuff

The characters engage in a series of verbal duels, with Shin attempting to get to the bottom of a conspiracy where the groom might not be who he purports to be. And there is also some swordplay.
