About the Lotus War series
Jay Kristoff's Lotus War is a dark, dazzling "Japanese steampunk" fantasy. In a feudal empire poisoned by the blood-lotus plant that fuels its machines, the young huntress Yukiko bonds with a thunder tiger — a griffin thought extinct — and becomes the spark of a rebellion against a corrupt and dying shogunate.
Kristoff's prose is lush and ferocious, and the world — chainsaw-katana samurai, sky-ships, environmental ruin — is unlike anything else in the genre. The bond between Yukiko and the griffin Buruu is the emotional core.
Read in order from "Stormdancer," as the rebellion and Yukiko's powers escalate across the trilogy.
