Miyuki Miyabe

• All She Was Worth (original title: Kasha), trans. Alfred Birnbaum (Mariner Books, 1999)
• Nice novel. Fast paced. This talked about the credit card problems at a particular time in japan. The lack of financial literacy in people and how they get caught in credit card traps. Gripping novel.
• Crossfire, trans. Deborah Iwabuchi and Anna Isozaki (Kodansha America, 2006)
• This was a bit too fantastic. It is like the Xmen where people have powers to move fire. Talks about such people on earth. A story is woven around such people. Nice story.
• Shadow Family (original title: R.P.G.), trans. Juliet Winters Carpenter (Kodansha America, 2006)
• This was an amazing novel. Touches upon latest concepts like Second Life. This is like fiction in the modern world where old values meet new trends. Amazing book. The best I have read.
• Brave Story, trans. Alexander O. Smith (VIZ Fiction, 2007)
• The Devil's Whisper (original title: Majutsu wa sasayaku), trans. Deborah Iwabuchi (Kodansha America, 2007)
• This was an ok book. True to her style, Miyabe introduced a modern concept - Subliminal advertising. It was an amazing concept in display. The story was average.
• The Book of Heroes (original title: Eiyu no sho), trans. Alexander O. Smith (Haikasoru, 2010)
• The Sleeping Dragon (original title: Ryuu wa nemuru), trans. Deborah Iwabuchi (Kodansha America, 2010)
