The Way of the saber (Paperback)

Customer Review

"The Way of the Sword" is a short novel adapted from a new previously published in 1998 in the collection Fairies & Gestures André-François Ruaud. In fact, where the new 119 page stopped after the attack the fishing village by the army of the Emperor, the novel continues the story of Mikédi adventures in this medieval Japan steeped in fantasy until his meeting with the Queen. So these are two new "rolls" ("The embers of education", "The fire below the horizon") that are added here.

But while the first part of the novel takes the time to set up the scene, the characters, their character and philosophy, later exposes too many events in too few pages. If in a short format, the aspect of "tale" is appealing in the novel, the number of pages is not sufficient to describe the history carefully. Most of the time, it was like flying over the text without really having time to focus on the ups and downs. Paging, airy, does not detract from this situation: the leaves are turning at full speed!

And that's a shame because many passages, if they had been exploited, could have been as strong as the images suggested by the descriptions of Shô monsters, or of the manufacture of saber Musashi from meteoritic metal . The six years of travel in Europe summarized in three pages, you'd think back how to conclude the original story, which is not suited to the novel.

Even if the subject is exciting, even if the text is read in one sitting, where the news was excellent because she developed the first moments of sumptuously Mikédi under the tutelage of Musashi, the novel is disappointing because it wants to tell too much, too fast.
