Professional Reviews

Although I'm not the target audience for this series, I really enjoyed this book.
It's fast, full of action and the figure of the Ninja is explored in such a new way, it gives it a fresh interpretation that I couldn’t help but enjoy.
Duncan is a strong and tortured young hero, he has so much power and he can't figure out how to learn to control it, before it starts controlling him. With the enemy closing ranks and his training still not completed, not to mention the mishaps every teenager goes through with love, friendship and classmates that just don't get you, Duncan has a lot on his mind.
I enjoyed the story of this second book in the series; it is a nice continuation to book 1 and develops Duncan's character nicely.
I must say, my favourite characters in this book were Akira and Morgan. Morgan is just incredible, with the wealth of knowledge he seems to be sitting on, I can see him becoming an even more important player in the next few books.
Akira's story was also very touching and gave his character a new dimension.
I'm a little sorry that we didn't see more of Mayumi, and that her romance with Duncan wasn't explored more, but I'm hoping this will be addressed later on in the story.
All in all this is a wonderful read that I would highly recommend for young boys and girls that love action and mystery, and to all who enjoy Manga and Fantasy,as there is a heavy component of the fantastic which is very enjoyable in these books.
I look forward to the next instalment, and who knows, maybe a Manga with Duncan as the hero? ;)
