This one is really sweet. I think you...Brandy... This one is really sweet. I think you'd like it because it has sword fighting! Kind of martial arts like.. <br /><br />Lea.. Aww, thanks! I know historicals aren't really your thing, but this one is really cute. <br /><br />Leslie... I just posted my review of <i>Butterfly Swords</i>. I REALLY enjoyed it. The setting is great.. love the sword fighting. LOL. <br /><br />orannia... that is so cool that you listened to radio stories as a young girl. I take it Diana wielded a sword? <br /><br />Hilcia... I think you'd like this one and <i>Butterfly Swords</i>. I hope you give them both a try! ^_^<br /><br />nath... I can understand your reluctance to read this series based on your love of those wuxia books, but I do think this is different. Ms. Lin's series is historical romance at its core even though there are kung fu elements to it. I suggest you visit her website and poke around, read some excerpts. You might find yourself less reluctant! <br /><br />Janicu ... DO IT!!! I think you'd really enjoy this series. Let me know if you do. : )Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-91175079693436464902010-09-30T10:35:15.783-04:002010-09-30T10:35:15.783-04:00I am very interested!

There's been a lot of promotion for Jeanine Lin and while I'm tempted... I have to say, what prevents me from adding it to my TBB list is that it's written in English ^_^; I spent my youth reading kung fu story in vietnamese... and I know very well that translating the language, well it comes off of :( So yeah, that's what holding me up.nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-13995672990747950092010-09-29T16:20:46.581-04:002010-09-29T16:20:46.581-04:00Okay, sold!

Love the historical setting and the length sounds ideal to give this story a try -- plus it's a great way to see if I'll want to get Butterfly Sword.
