I'm really glad that there's a female character who is not about to bend over backwards for some guy.

Did you read Katana, about a girl possessed by a legendary female samurai? That one didn't work for me, but this one sounds like I might enjoy it....Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1155374563273721268.post-38352029429934645492012-10-10T15:02:36.667-05:002012-10-10T15:02:36.667-05:00I totally understand.

The editing issues would be a major turn-off for me (I'm insanely picky sometimes!), but this sounds out-of-the-ordinary and interesting nonetheless.Ceceliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249223364936344560noreply@blogger.com
