Short description

Emily Kane desperately wants to lead the normal life of a teenager. But events are conspiring against her. When foreign agents force her to fight it may not be possible to enjoy the innocent pleasures of childhood anymore. "The angel of death can hardly have friends. And the prom, what about Danny? He can hardly have a Valkyrie for his date."

Extended description

Emily Kane may have come to terms with the team of covert operatives from the Chinese Guoanbu. Unfortunately, these are not the only people hunting her. At least one team of American operatives is after her, too, as she discovers one day during a routine traffic stop. But the worst nightmare comes to pass when North Korean agents kidnap two small children to trade for her. Emily will need to juggle life and death decisions as her hopes of leading the normal social life of a teenager are about to go up in smoke.

Review by: Sadie S. Forsythe on Dec. 09, 2012 :
Sen No Sen is the sequel to Go No Sen and follows Emily as she continues to try and maintain a normal life despite being hunted by a number of international covert operatives. It is apparent from the very beginning that Emily is struggling with how to balance her own strengths with both the life she wishes to lead and the dangers she can't seem to escape. Her difficulties are easy to relate to as is her love for those around her.

Antoine's writing is comfortable. It flows smoothly from the violence Emily is forced to inhabit to the peace she is trying to protect, effectively mimicking the very internal dilemma Emily is facing. I particularly liked the pacing and writing style.

Like Go No Sen, Sen No Sen includes quite a lot of martial arts theory. It is as much about the proper mind set of a fight as the proper physical conditioning. It wasn't quite as heavy as in the first book and I found it enjoyable. I appreciated the little bit of Japanese mythology that comes in at the end of the book.

Anyone who is interested in martial arts will likely like this book, as will those who like strong female YA characters. I would recommend reading Go No Sen first however.
