Reading RA

I finished the tenth book, but it wasn't as good as I had wished it to be. Don't get me wrong! It was fantastic! But, sadly, I predicted the end from the VERY beginning... yeah.... the whole turtle formation with the kikori.... I totally saw through it as soon as they mentioned the Senshi warriors were really skilled and outnumbered Emperor Shigeru's INEXPERIENCED warriors.... ANYWHO... I love Japan!! SO it was awesome seeing Halt, Will, Horace, and the gang there. As soon as I heard the name was Nihon-ja.... I was all like, "There aren't any ninja .... are there?" Right I was... but I did see a lot of correlation between the Hasanu people and ninja legends. Ninja were said to be monstrous demons with long red hair that lived in the mountains, so immediately I was all like... AH HAH! I hoped that the whole beastly men covered in red hair thing was just the kikori peoples' overexagguration and that the Hasanu would be EPIC kick-butt ninja! But no... the legend was true for once... which was a little surprising for me since RA doesn't usually do that. Anyways, I've also outgrown the reading level so.... well... XD haha yeah. I enjoyed the series and highly recommend them! They're awesome! But I seriously was up for some Rangers vs Ninja since they are so similar as far as stealth and ranged weaponry. I thought it'd be interesting....
