Samurai by Jason Hightman is like a guilty pleasure: it’s so bad (as in, badly-written, makes-me-want-to-tear-out-my-hair bad), but so good. @_@
Like, the prose is written in such a way that I thought was very, very unpolished, but on the other hand, the author explains that he wanted to write it in a very action-y way. And that is true. The prose is very abrupt and short, and the action scenes fly by. I would have liked a difference in the pose as regards to what prose is storytelling what (like, that abrupt style for the action scenes; a less abrupt, more rounded style for the slower scenes), but eh, that’s just my own preference. The book is still very good; it says something that even though I thought it was so bad I didn’t put it down or throw it at the wall or anything. ._.
