This book was received as an ARC from VIZ Media LLC in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.
Every page I turned while reading this manga novel, I could not help but think Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon but now its the protection of the brotherhood and the Creed in 1526 A.D. Ming Dynasty. I am a huge fan of Manga and the brilliant artwork that goes with it and this book was no different and lived up to its name. Seeing the images brought the story to life and it felt like you were in the battle along for the ride protecting the assassin's creed seeking vengeance with Shao Jung (the last of the assassins). Like all of our other Manga books in our collection, this one will sure circulate well.
We will consider adding this title to our Graphic Novel collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
