I have to say the story seemed intriguing when I went to purchase it from Amazon.  When two friends reunite to explore and expand their friendship; a day of exploration at a once forbidden part of the island becomes more than what the two had expected. Secrets are revealed and danger is upon them as the struggle to save their families and themselves. With spiritual meaning and adventure, this book has the potential to be something great. As I read Cintani Bird: Search For The Assassin, I was drawn in at the beginning but felt it dragging till I was closer to the end. I am not sure if it was the way it was written or that there was too much history being told and not enough action that had me feeling this way. The story is told in a God like POV and there were many times throughout the book that I was lost or uncertain for a time as to who was being talked about or what was going on and why. There are a few editing issues that need to be addressed, but I liked the creative use of words that opened my mind to new meanings and uses that I had not thought of before.  I would like to point out that there is a Word Index at the end of the book, located in the Contents, as there are many names of characters and places that were hard to read/say.  I did enjoy reading Cintani Bird and I would read book two if there is one planned in the future. This is a great story of adventure, hope, faith, and trust that many could learn from.
