Interesting

It's interesting but I don't know much about being a warrior who uses a sword. I think it is fun to learn about history and there are some good bits of information about spirit and ways of life. I like the narrator, I don't know why he gets bad feedback, he speaks clearly and has the perfect tone for the content of this book.
