Exciting Martial Arts Fantasy Short
Lu Yan wakens from a drunken stupor just in time to be warned of danger by a beautiful stranger. As he and the woman face the attacking demons, Lu Yan is forced to confront who he has become and much to consider.
I jumped at being able to read an early copy of this short story, curious when author Jeannie Lin called it her first Wuxia story despite having only a vague notion of what that might mean. What I found was an exciting and instantly immersive tale of a swordsman, his sword, and magic that evoked fantasy, folk tale, and myth.
Lu Yan is a bit of a rascal, the lady is intriguing, his sword is missing, and they are vastly outnumbered. A recipe for a highly enjoyable short from Jeannie Lin that I highly recommend (and hope for more).
This review refers to an uncorrected digital copy that I voluntarily received from the author. A positive review was not required and these are only my own honest opinions.
