"Seventeen years after the legendary fighter Mubai dies protecting the world-conquering sword The Green Destiny, four great warriors are called together to guard the formidable weapon once more. The forces surrounding the sword irrevocably altered the life of Shulien, Mubai's lover, but seventeen years later she is still honor-bound to defend the blade from the power-hungry warlord Hades Dai. The young fighters Wei-fang and Snow Vase, switched at birth, also have heritages and inheritances that inextricably link them to both each other and the fate of the sword. And Silent Wolf, Shulien's former fiance, returns from presumed death to thwart Hades Dai-- and rekindle an emotionally isolated Shulien's feelings."--

Review of 'Crouching tiger, hidden dragon' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

There novel worked well to carry on the feeling of the first film. I can't speak to its place related to the original pentology and something in me is a little torn on a book of a movie of a book. Still, it may not have had Ang Lee's level of depth and layering, and it relies too heavily on the combat, but it felt a part of the whole. If this were unconnected from anything I imagine one less star would be above.
