Dragon Sword and Wind Child is an amazing fantasy world that bdraws on the Japanese creation myths. We have the story of Saya--an orphan--who is raised in a village who worships the children of light. However, she learns that she is not only the reincarnation of a a priestess in the service of the godess of Darkness but she is also the princess of the people of Darkness. In her sturuggle to find her place in this world torn in war between the forces of Light and Darkness she must find her place and follow destiny. The story is well written and engaging. Viz does a great job with the look of the product as well. The illistations by Miho Satake are absolutley beautiful though few. The glossary in the back could have more in it. I give the book 4 stars out of 5. Great story, great packageing, an original take on an old myth.
