Book Recommendation Requests > Ana-Maria Petre’s Request

they said: " I can't see your books because your profile is private but if you haven't read Shogun I think it best meets your requirements. All my recommendations are about Japan, sorry about that. Hopefully someone else will recommend another realm.
Depending on your age group and interests you might like Alexander Dumas (e.g. The Three Musketeers) but I wouldn't recommend him if you're over 20.

Also, Cloud of Sparrows is a solid recommendation, if you're spinning off into Ninjas. If you're going to read Shōgun, you might be interested in Giles Milton.

she said: " This is the 1st book of a popular YA historical (?) trilogy. The protagonists for the 3 books are different but they are all friends from a convent (?) that teaches them how to be assassins. The lives of these three are pretty intertwined as they forage out into the world of court/politics. (so it should be read in order and not seen as separate). I hope I didn`t recommend you something you already read! This is the 1st book of a popular YA historical (?) trilogy.

they said: " I'd mistakenly recommended Jade Palace Vendetta, which is also great but is the second book of the trilogy. This is the first one and I found it so enjoyable that I'd love to read it again sometime. This author is somewhat unknown, to the detriment of many readers, and I don't understand why as he is so good at writing brilliant page-turners. I absolutely love the story of Matsuyama Kaze, the cool samurai (my words, not the author's).
