review 1: I found this to be an exciting read filled with the right amount of mystery, ninja action, Japanese history and heroine coming-of-age.Wind as a entity, a kind of character in the story, brought a magical aura to the story that reminded me of the fantasy martial arts fight scenes in the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon which is a genre I enjoy.This story also got me thinking of family, family heritage and family loyalty. review 2: Fun and entertaining, this book was a wonderful mix of modern America and ancient Japan. It dealt with the question of what it would be like to be a modern ninja. Jet was a vulnerable girl who could kick your ass if it came to it. The dualities in this book were fun to see played out: male/female, war/peace, modern/ancient, East/We... morest, Christian/Buddhist. Pick this up if you're looking for a cross-country ninja adventure. Or just something different. less
