the sword of kaigen (a playlist) - instrumentals

“You learn over time that the world isn’t broken. It’s just… got more pieces to it than you thought. They all fit together, just maybe not the way you pictured when you were young.”

About the Book:
A mother struggling to repress her violent past,
A son struggling to grasp his violent future,
A father blind to the danger that threatens them all.

When the winds of war reach their peninsula, will the Matsuda family have the strength to defend their empire? Or will they tear each other apart before the true enemies even reach their shores? Often described as The Poppy War meets Avatar the Last Airbender, The Sword of Kaigen is a standalone fantasy must-read.

A Note from Me:
One of my favorite reads of 2023, The Sword of Kaigen has some of the best character arcs I have ever read, and I found myself so engrossed in the extremely intricate elemental magic system and battle sequences. Two chapters in particular, “The End” and “The Duel” were so incredibly well written, and go down on my list of favorite chapters of all time. Tears were shed, and I would highly recommend this moving story about family, duty, sacrifice, loss, love, and self-discovery.
