Set in China in 250 BCE, a couple of slave boys with big dreams are our heroes. They practice swordsmanship on their own as they dream of changing their lives and getting out of slavery. One gets the chance of a lifetime to leave and takes the offer. The second follows on and becomes a key part of correcting a coup and helping the rightful king return to power. Simple, but with depth as we explore class, race, culture and gender stereotypes.
4 stars (out of 5)
