Never Die

First off I'd like to say that I really enjoyed the story and the characters. Never Die reads very much like a manga or anime and since I enjoy them on the whole, it really appealed to me. Not to mention that I really appreciate an Eastern influenced fantasy novel, since on the whole they are fewer and farther between the modern urban fantasy and Western European influenced books and a breath of fresh air in the genre. It was fast paced and definitely kept me turning pages. Getting to know the characters was a treat and I certainly didn't expect the ending! There wasn't a lot of world building, the focus was more on the characters, and I almost wish there was more about the world itself and how it all worked and functioned, but that might be my personal preference for massive world-building books. My only gripe would be the amount of typos...there were unfortunately a lot. Usually I can overlook a few here or there, but it got to the point that it actually bothered me while reading and took me out of the story. I realize this is a self-published book, but it could have used a few more read through's to eliminate some of those. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the story and recommend it for fans who enjoy shonen type manga or anime or those looking for a story set somewhere different from the over saturated Western middle ages influence. I'm not sure I was super emotionally invested, but it was and enjoyable and fun read.
