5.0 out of 5 stars more fun for Inu Yasha fans..., August 15, 2004

By	M. Cookson (Colorado Springs) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In this volume, Inu Yasha has sword troubles. His brother, Sessho-Maru has had a new sword forged that, unfortunately, has the vengeful soul of Goshinki (one of Naraku's creations) within it. Inu Yasha's own sword has recently been repaired, but he's having problems fighting with it. In the second half of the volume, Naraku's created another dangerous demonic being. Even though Inu Yasha's having problems with his sword, he has to find a way to beat this demon, or Kagome may get hurt.

I haven't read an Inu Yasha volume that I haven't liked, so I would definitely recommend this whole series. As for this particular volume, I would recommend it to those who are Inu Yasha fans already, although I'm guessing that those kinds of people have already read this. This book may not be as good for newcomers to this series, unless you don't mind being a bit in the dark about some things. The "story thus far" section basically sums up the series as a whole, but it doesn't tell you anything about what happened in the previous volume. There is a helpful "characters" section, however. At any rate, this volume has it all, action, fantasy, and a smidgeon of romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down!, April 26, 2004

By	"cassiopeiastarlite" (TN, USA) - See all my reviews

Book starts out with Inuyasha in human form so the first chapter has a great conversation going on between Inuyasha and Miroku. An bad guy approaches and starts a fight. During the course of the battle Inuyasha transforms into his normal self. He discovers that his newly remade Tetsusaiga is to heavy for him to wield. Next a battle with Sesshomaru and later Koga and Inuyasha join forces to fight Juromaru and Kageromaru.

Lots of action and gore. A+
