Continues the story line from previous books well, Excellent book, story and graphics throughout, particularly like the sword fighting scene between Jen Yu and Dark Cloud, which displays various fighting moves like Jen Yu ‘Soaring Wood Move’ and her ‘Sixiang sword tactics’ along with the ‘Dancing Crane Move’ & my favorite ‘Stretching Dragon Move’ all excellently drawn. And are detailed & coloured very well. The colour scheme throughout the entire is constantly excellent. Within this book you clearly detect the early build up and stages of the love developing between Jen Lu and Dark Cloud, the story transfers from Jen Lu and Dark Cloud trying to kill each other to falling in love with each other. In true Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon theme, poisonous needles are used by the well known villain Jade Fox. The quality of the artwork is immense, plenty of time spent developing such beautiful graphics, the story line is very easy to follow in this novel. I am certainly a big fan of Andy Seto and this high calibre of work. In my own opinion I could find no negatives about this book, I truly enjoyed it. If you liked the movie, you will enjoy this prequel. ( )
