Query: Wish the author read the previous books...

I was looking forward to a new L5R novel, especially after Wind of Honor, which I thought was a great book. Wind of War managed to disappoint me on soooo many levels. Outside jokes (the village of "Rutro Ragi"), poor characterizations of established characters, poor grasp on a developed setting, and repeated use of the same metaphors (how many times can an author say "the opponent fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut) all contributed to a book that was frequently painful to read.I'll pick up future books for the setting, but I'll hesitate to pay for another book by this author.
