Shinobi was, alright.
I would rate it more like 2.5 Stars
But because it did tye up everything with a nice bow at the end, I rounded it up.

The twist plot was genius.
The story line was interesting.


It was interesting to see Sumi's perspective. I really felt sorry for what Chiyo has experienced, and yet despite all that, it didn’t justify any of her actions at present. It only proves she hasn’t grown up at all even after a lifetime. This would have been her chance to start anew.

It was a little disappointing to see that aside from Rileigh, Kim, Quentin and Sumi, the rest of the characters were rather useless. Even in the previous books, they didn’t leave that much of an impression and the only help they provided was during patrols and hanging out with the main characters. Other than building a thoughtful bond of friendship, I would think this story would have gone on even without them.

A nice ending to a fun series.
