L.: Foreign Language Books Review: Fantastic story - This is one of those books that are hard to put down once you begin reading. There are different families with different powers and bloodlines with their secret techniques, which is awesome to read. Also, the writer does an excellent job at world-building and character development. The way she makes you fall for characters and have you connect with them is flawless. First, you are led one way, only to discover that the story goes the other way. It's a great book, and I hoped there would be a sequel. Unfortunately, it looks like it is a single stand-alone book. Review: On the Physical Book: Sturdy and easy to handle. The paper selection could have opted for a paper quality that would allow a more flexible spine. The cover treatment is average, as the outer plastic film shows signs of peeling after a few days at the beach (under shade, no sun exposure). On the Story: The Sword of Kaigen (@mlwangauthor ) is a gut wrenching epic with an amazing set of character arcs with really cool development that show depth and uniqueness . The world building is detailed and immersive with good socio-political nuances. The magic system is well developed and easy to grasp and complements well a martial arts background. The Sword of Kaigen is sadly only 600+ pages and seems to be a standalone. My wish is that the author may eventually bless us with more incursions into Duna and the Matsudas. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Amazon Bestseller | #3,927 in Foreign Language Books ( See Top 100 in Foreign Language Books ) #42 in Epic Fantasy (Foreign Language Books) #983 in Literature & Fiction (Foreign Language Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (18,624) | | Dimensions | 5.25 x 1.63 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 172019386X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1720193869 | | Item Weight | 730 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 649 pages | | Publication date | February 13, 2019 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![The Sword of Kaigen: A Theonite War Story - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CrKDOkS2L.jpg) ![The Sword of Kaigen: A Theonite War Story - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91THjsJevVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic story *by C***N on October 4, 2024* This is one of those books that are hard to put down once you begin reading.

I truly loved this story. It is a kind of Historical/Sci Fi/Elemental Magic composite and what makes it so special is the excellent writing around the world-building and the characters. Misaki wife of a renowned Matsuda Family warrior struggles between the knowledge and skills gathered in her youth versus the rigid, misogynistic attitudes of her husband's traditional family. Good wives are seen and not heard. The Matsudas are the traditional guardians of the Empire and masters of a magical war technique known as 'The Whispering Blades'. I found the writing around the role of the women and Misaki's relationship with her sisters-in-law totally convincing. Her relationship with her sons, her eldest son especially, is strained because she feels suppressed by the expectations of her wifely role but when her eldest boy, Mamoru, needs someone to help him and point out the truth, she surfaces the skills and world knowledge she always had to do that. It is a marvellous story about heritage, propaganda and social manipulation but also love, courage and sacrifice. The Matsuda men are like warlord ciphers until they stand in battle and their true abilities come to the fore. It has meaningful themes about war and inter-ethnic relationships. Most of the warriors are capable of elemental manipulation via wind, water, ice or fire. Misaki is a known blood manipulator and the fantastical elements in the story are beautifully described. It is a brilliant read and I defy anyone not to have a tear in their eye as Mamoru achieves his lone warrior victory. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Sword of Kaigen: A Theonite War Story - The Will of the Many (1) (Hierarchy) - Blood Over Bright Haven: A Novel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/731915617-the-sword-of-kaigen-a-theonite-war-story](https://www.desertcart.us/products/731915617-the-sword-of-kaigen-a-theonite-war-story) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
