5 Lords of Pain - The Lord of the Void Book #11 By James Lovegrove

Genre: Adventure

Long long ago, demons used to be able to wander free across the lands of our earth and both humans and demons lived together in peace. One day, the 5 lords of pain wanted to disrupt that peace and create an army of demons to take control of the earth. Yoshiro Yamada, a famous japanese warrior, chose to fight off these demons. But instead of facing them all, he challenged the lords of pain and if he won they would have to leave the earth and promise not to harm any more human. But then they came back after 30 years in revenge and killed Yoshiro, but the 5 lords of pain hadn’t kept their promise to not harm a single human so they were cursed back to whence they came and if they returned,  the Yamada Clan would always have at least on man child to fight in the contest. Now it is Tom Yamada’s turn to fight the 5 lords of pain but they’ve returned 15 years earlier, causing Tom to train even harder. Tom has a keen witted soul and honour which gave him the power to defeat the Lord of the Mountain. But the Lord of the Void is his next opponent this guy is twice as strong and controls the element of the void. Every time the lords regenerate, they change the way there body  is to become stronger so the Lord of the Void could do and be anything. Can Tom defeat the Lord of the Void, and will he lose a friend in the process?

I liked that a story of how the contest began was put in and that some people that aren’t from the Yamaha Clan know about the contest.

I didn’t like how the epic showdown or at least the whole book was short because it could have been a really awesome book if it had more pages.

Rate: 4 / 5 I think it needs more pages.
