I've resisted adding Strike the Zither to my TBR primarily because I find the title hard to say (quickly) out loud! However, reading this first look has definitely changed my mind. I absolutely love chapters with titles, and books with MAPS! The character art is just excellent, too. Joan He's brisk writing style is reminiscent of Marie Lu, and will definitely appeal to readers in grades 7-10. I'm looking forward to reading more ... and learning how to nimbly pronounce the title!
