Kensei armor This was a very fun read If you wanted to distill it down it s something like What if Buffy was a legacy superhero Put like that it sounds kind of pedestrian but in reality it sparkles because Zimmerman makes all the details feel fresh and real All the main characters are well drawn I ve got to especially mention her parents who are interesting loving individuals each of whom gets some things right and some things terribly wrong The setting draws heavily from Zimmerman s knowledge of roller derby and Buddhism And the story does a great job acknowledging the larger Cobalt City world while not allowing the established superheroes to take over Kensei s story. Kindle kensei armor In short this is exactly what I m looking for in a superhero story This might well be my favorite new superhero tale since The Incredibles came out 188 I stumbled across Kensei sort of by accident and am so glad I did I read half the book in one night and the rest quickly followed. Pdf kaise banaye Jamie Kensei Hattori is a great protagonist equal parts budding superhero and young girl figuring out her own self and her own life The world Zimmerman created is fantastic it clearly has a history that plays into current events And I love the way the spirit world is portrayed and how Jamie interacts with it Agyo may well be my favorite character to be honest The ending is well done with a satisfying show down between Jamie and her nemesis And yet Zimmerman manages to leave just enough threads dangling to leave me wanting and excited for book two 188 I m not sure what you could want in a YA superhero tale You ve got young romance struggling to find your very complicated place in the world as a bi racial lesbian superhero you ve got roller derby and to top it off freaking vampire owls I love how Zimmerman not only captures what it means to be a special youth in a city of superheroes but also the deeper spiritual life of the city and the character of individual neighborhoods His wit and humanity shine through and make this story of individual heroism something special Bonus points for realizing that violence is not always the answer even when you re carrying a samurai sword. Kensizer Jamie Hattori is a young hero with an amazing journey ahead of her and I look forward to seeing where that journey takes her 188 Kensei by Zimmerman is a well thought out book of a group of teenagers all very different and yet bound by common threads Kensei is a superhero who can talk to the spirits of buildings cars etc One major one goes missing but other superheroes come to the rescue Jamie Kensei is a warts and all girl who goes along with what she believes in Will she survive the onslaught of the baddies or not What s with the apples Are they keeping the doctor away We are taken on a round of lesbians as well as gods but the common thread is Kensei Is she really a superhero 188 This first novel is a charming young adult story that takes place in the shared universe setting of Cobalt City Cobalt City somewhere vaguely on the northeast coast of the US and previously detained in a number of short story collections is the thriving home of many superheroes In this novel though some recent events have caused many of the town s resident heroes to flee. Kensei for honor weapon Enter the main character Jamie Hattori a half black half Japanese teen superhero who defends her neighborhood from various threats with her father s samurai sword plus her ability to see and talk with ghosts This is not an origin story though it begins several years after Jamie s power began to manifest and some indefinite time it seems like a few months after she took on her superhero guise Kensei. Kensei ebookee Jamie is a wonderfully different hero In addition to her racial background she s a nerd although not a bookworm or computer geek a lesbian and a roller derby fan none of which hits the traditional fantasy mainstream I imagine that this must be tremendously exciting to read for people who are not straight white men and who from what I ve read don t get a lot of representation in the genre. Kensei science fiction fantasy characters It s not much of a spoiler to say that there s to Kensei and her powers than she realizes at first And she is somewhat reluctant to embrace what she learns and has to be figuratively dragged screaming into recognizing then learning to embrace her additional abilities I found it a little disappointing that Jamie doesn t discover her other powers on her own but needs to have them explained and trained by another hero But that s a pretty minor quibble. Kensei armor As the finale of the book approaches it becomes very clear that there s a lot going on than was initially apparent and that there is a bigger picture yet unseen Some questions are raised by the last couple chapters that do not get answered so I m really expecting that a sequel will appear one of these days I d love to read it and learn about all these characters and what the hell is going on in the larger world. Kensiemae llc There are a few infelicitous phrases scattered around which read awkwardly enough that they pulled me out of the story to wonder how the author could have said them better But otherwise this is a solid first novel and I hope only the first of many 188 
This is really good Superheroes animistic spirits teenage love roller derby Pretty much everything you ever wanted out of a young adult book Unless you re a major publisher of course Can t be doing with those bi racial lesbian samurais if you re a major publisher Honestly though this short novel is better than %75 of the young adult books on the market Gets my full recommendation 188 A good read with refreshingly diverse characters I enjoyed the mix of comic book tropes and inventive new ideas Looking forward to the next one 188 I was one of the lucky winners to receive this book in the Goodreads First Reads Giveaway. Kensizer This was quite an enjoyable read although it is suited to young adults I shall be passing this book onto my eldest granddaughter who I know will love it 188 A fun read although it took me a while to get through and could ve used a good editor Definitely like the main character though and can t wait to read 188 I liked it in general there s a lot of good stuff in here the Mean Girls aspects were a bit much for me but sometimes that s what you get in YA stuff 188.
