Pales in Comparison

Revisado: 06-15-21

Musashi as a story is not something to take light of. The historical figure of Musashi is one of the upmost importance in Japanese history.

That being said, the book opens with an introduction of the story and the author. After the introduction, the book directly attacks the story of Shōgun and details how it is not a true japanese tale but one of european qualities, which is true. BUT! after attacking Shōgun, i expected the book to be at least on par with the critically acclaimed book.

I will not get into details as to not spoil but here is the reasons i have given the book a low review.

Characters will have devout ambitions or goals that they are willing to die for and suddenly when faced with the ability to reach their goal they give up. Or even worse do the exact opposite of their goal. This happens many times with different characters throughout the book. Musashi is the only character with resolve.

Characters in the book blindly believe fallacies without a second thought, and i am not talking about country bumpkins but highly intellectual and very travled characters that should have much more sense.

Lastly, the kicker is that characters will outright just change their entire life on a whim without a second thought or notice. Example (near the end of the book) one of the charaters devouts to make a name for themselves like Musashi about 50 chapters before. Then near the end of the book, they drop everything they worked for and do something else in about 4 sentences. I mean i listened to this character talk about changing their life for 40 hours and in 30 seconds they just give up for no reason.

To conclude. Read Shōgun.

The End Of The World novella. A quick flowing read. Loved it. I will now read the whole series. You can read this as a stand alone but it will leave you wanting more.
