Sword of Destiny breathe life into the Warriors of the Ancient China

Sunday, November 28, 2021


Sword of Destiny is the only book I finished for November and this is just my second blog post for this month. Things happened and I lost the momentum and now I am trying to get back on track before the year ends. It is only one month to go until the year 2022. Time flies fast, so, so fast. 

Well, I bought this book from the NBS 99 Sale just this year. The book cover got me, the lady with the sword impressed upon me that there was a high possibility to encounter a strong female character in the book and I was never wrong. I did meet not just one, but a few of them matter-of-factly, and I am satisfied.

The story revolves around the hidden Green Destiny Sword of China. This magnificent sword possesses power and strength that would be unbearable to handle even by the strongest warrior ever since the death of its original keeper. It is untamed and has been passed down from generation to generation of warriors. It could be a gift or a curse to anyone who desires to take a hold of it.  

Becoming a warrior entails honor, power, and strength. Through the life of the Iron Way, one can begin the journey of becoming a warrior. It is a difficult path to take, but few prefer to trudge on that road. Men are the ones to walk on this path of becoming a warrior and it is seldom that women choose the Iron Way but even if they do, they are forbidden or judged by their loved ones, the people around them, or just by the mere bystanders, which is something that we can expect by the setting of the story. 

It felt like I was watching a martial arts movie as I read the book. Regret is nowhere to be found after enjoying this book that I picked randomly because of a book sale. Again, satisfied!

You can definitely breathe into the world of ancient China where warriors exist for honor and justice alone. Sword of Destiny is a book for all the martial arts fanatics out there. It is a vivid telling of an adventure only for the brave ones. Meet the warriors that will blow your mind and touch your heart with their gentle strength and prowess. 


The book is written by Justin Hill which he based on the writings of Wang Dulu. You can check out the film adaptation on Netflix, I tried to watch it but I stop when I realized that there was a huge difference at the beginning of the movie and the book. I'm a bit disappointed with the film. Maybe, I'll try to watch it again some other time, see if it isn't bad as I thought, and let the movie justify itself once more.

Bloodlust takes on White Blood

Sunday, November 7, 2021


In a world where humans and vampires co-exist, is peace and harmony a luxury no one can afford?

White Blood is an action-romance-fantasy manhwa by Imrina (임리나). It is a story about an orphan girl named Hayan Park and also a pure blooded vampire. Her dream is to live peacefully with her siblings and father, and as much as possible live like the humans do by hiding the fact that she has the potential to be a danger to the existence of human race. 

Victims of humans-turned-vampires become rampant and authorities are taking actions to prevent any further damage to the fragile race of humans. Eun Tae Hwang is a police detective who works with the Vampire Task Force. Needless to say that he is working double time to catch and probably kill those creatures whose bloodlust can never be satisfied with only one victim. 

Humans are in danger someone needs to act. Someone powerful and strongest to put those bloodcurdling creatures in their proper place. And it seems humans-turned-vampires are the worst kind of beings one would never want to encounter. 

Hayan wants to live in peace but it seems like being a pure blooded vampire will never let her be, and meeting a vampire hunter, Eun Tae, is unlikely to be the best deal she gets to have out of her peaceful life. But one pure blooded vampire versus humans-turned-vampires appears to be more a feasible match for the human race.
