The emperor of Nihon-Ja

High paced and overall well written i would say it is an amazing series!

I Loved reading this series! I can't believe that it ended. The ending was good though.

This was a great book; probably my favorite in the series, but if you know anything about Japanese culture, you could tell that John Flanagan modeled the Nihon-Jan after the Japanese. The swords used were the same, the languages were too. He even made the Japanese have an accent when they spoke in Will's language. I think this is what made the book seem odd, or almost even funny to me.
Either way, this was a great book, and I would recommend it to everyone, especially preteens or teens.

the book was really good. great ending

this series was so good! i cant believe it ended

The final battle rises as the reader goes to Japan with the rangers.
In Japanese, Japan is actually Nihon-go.

i liked this book it had cool warriors in them

First, I would like to say that I loved it. In this book they travel to Nihon-Ja (Japan) and get involved in a civil war. Does anyone else realize that these books are actually a kind of historical fiction? For example, the Araluens are the English and the Skandians are Vikings! This book could be used in a military tactics class. The innovative strategies of the Rangers never cease to amaze me. I think this book was the best in the series so far.
