Book Reviews of The Twelve Kingdoms, Volume 1: Sea of Shadow
Book Review: Unconventional strong female role model
Summary: 5 Stars
I first came to Twelve Kingdoms via the animated series, which is quite different to the book in places. And, frankly the book is far superior.
Yoko is a brilliant role model for girls - she defies the gender stereotypes and moves from a weak, cowardly and lazy child to a strong, independent girl. Yet there is still plenty of sword fights and battles to keep the story exciting.
I've found it a thrilling read and have completed it in two days, whilst it can be simplistic at times (being a childrens book after all), the story is so well crafted that it is utterly absorbing.
The occassional artwork is beautiful as well, really striking black and white images.
