A last-minute addition to my September reading, and I am so glad I made the time for SISTAH SAMURAI: A CHAMPLOO NOVELLA. @obeytheauthor.bsky.social has a new fan in me. This book perfectly balances action, humor, and trauma in a way that works so incredibly well. #BookSky

"Sistah Samurai is a delightful and fun novella. It blends action and humor with a surprisingly captivating tale about reconciling with one's past and regrets."

I’m a big fan of Sistah Samurai by @obeytheauthor.bsky.social. Fast-paced, razor prose, wildly creative, and nails the chanbara feel I crave in samurai fantasy. Check this one out, it’s good! #fiction #fantasy

Sistah Samurai, the novel's main character, chilling on a meadow under a cherry tree in sunny weather, and looking very happy and content. She wears a light kimono with a flower pattern, and her swords lie next to her. She is listening to music from a teal colored walkman.
