My review of this book: I really enjoyed reading the Book of the Flame as well as the other Samurai Girl series. What I really liked about this book was the suspense, the different characteristics of the characters, and the action. In every chapter I always wonder what will happen next. Sometimes I even read ahead to get a clue. Though I like all the chapters, there was one particular one that I didn't like. In that chapter Heaven finally gave up and let herself be captured. Even though she was freed later, I was still disappointed that she gave up hope. I would recommend this book to people who like books with alot of suspense, action, and tough girls.
