- Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2021In this fantastic follow up to his first book, the author takes us deeper into an epic fantasy adventure steeped in Chinese and Japanese history and lore, power mad villains who might be a little more sad than Evil, and a powerful but lost Mitsui who is desperately trying to prove her worth and find acceptance in a brutal world!
Read it!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021I am not normally a fan of vampire stories. I loved Dracula by Bram Stoker, but the modern vampire has strayed so far from the original that I do not believe they are vampires at all. However, when you read a Don McCann book, this ceases to be an issue. McCann tells great stories and in the hands of a superbly creative writer, any story can transcend its genre.
McCann has a great knowledge of ancient Japan. I loved the early chapters of Edo Blood, Book I – the focus on the pomp and circumstance of old Japan, its culture, its martial arts, its warrior Samurai class, the warlord Daimyos, the loyal commanders, the great characters, especially Kenji and Mitsui – it all made for fascinating reading. I was totally hooked. And when I finally got my hands on Edo Blood, Book II, I was filled with anticipation ... and perhaps a little concern. Did McCann set the bar too high with his first book? Would I savour again the same delights ... or find myself disappointed? I needn’t have worried. Great writers do not suddenly lose their skills and McCann still retains all his abilities to tell a heart-wrenching story.
Edo Blood, Part II is not just a vampire story. It is a story about people, people you cannot help but empathise with. You share their dreams and their hopes, you share their joys and despairs, you ache with their failures and delight in their successes. You become so absorbed in their lives that you lose all sense of everything else around you. And none of these people is more captivating than the teenage Mitsui. McCann sucks the reader into her insatiable desire to wreak vengeance on her mortal enemy, into the indomitable spirit that pushes her mind and body to their limits. The reader can only be awed at her extraordinary martial accomplishments, at the incredible courage that does not fear even the three-hundred-year-old monster that is Sung.
Kenji, a vampire, slays Mitsui’s lover. Plunged into a nightmare of hatred, the sixteen-year-old vows vengeance, and leaves her own land to travel to China to study under Sung, a torture-loving, feudal warlord and a vampire. There she hopes to learn the skills she needs to defeat her enemy. During the two years she is with Sung, Mitsui becomes a fierce and determined fighter, capable of defeating any three of Sung’s warriors together, and Sung’s warriors are the best of the best. Even the time-wearied old tyrant is amazed at her progress and gifts Mitsui with Moa, a huge hell-hound, reared on the vampire’s own blood, a hound that can rip a man to pieces in seconds, even in full body armour. But despite her prodigious talents in a whole range of martial arts and the fact that she will always have the terrifying Moa at her side, Mitsui experiences burgeoning doubts. Kenji was one of Japan’s greatest Samurai. He still retains his incomparable prowess but even more, as a vampire, he can move ten times faster than any human being. How can Mitsui hope to defeat an adversary so formidable? And amid the doubts, the unspeakable begins to bubble in the lower reaches of her mind. Does she need to become a vampire to defeat a vampire?
Does she? What other plans has Sung in store for her? Does she come face-to-face with her hated enemy? Will she be able to overcome him? I turned the pages so fast seeking answers to these questions that I almost burned out my kindle.
I simply cannot understand why McCann has not yet been discovered. But I do know that he will be. Stories this good won’t stay hidden for long. So I urge you now to follow me to his Amazon page and buy his books while they are still affordable. You will be guaranteed hours of wonder and imagination. I absolutely loved Edo Blood, Book II, Part One. I know you will, too.
