About this listen

The Ninja Daughter is an action-packed thriller about a Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja with Joy Luck Club family issues who fights the Los Angeles Ukrainian mob, sex traffickers, and her own family to save two desperate women and an innocent child.

After her sister is raped and murdered, Lily Wong dedicates her life and ninja skills to the protection of women. But her mission is complicated. Not only does she live above the Chinese restaurant owned by her Norwegian father and inspired by the recipes of her Chinese mother, but she has to hide her true self from her Hong Kong tiger mom, who is already disappointed at her less-than-feminine ways, and who would be horrified if she knew what she had become.

But when a woman and her son she escorted safely to an abused women’s shelter return home to dangerous consequences, Lily is forced to not only confront her family and her past, but team up with a mysterious - and very lethal - stranger to rescue them.

it was "fine" if not slightly boring. The characters felt one-dimensional, contrived, and sterotyped. The reader has incredible diction and facility with accents. However, she sounds like an exaggerated, uppercrust New England patrician. I found it off-putting. I think I'll bypass the rest of the series.

...this is a genre or subject that normally I would not be inclined to read. However, through several recommendations in the Facebook book group I am in, I decided to try it. It was a wonderful story!

Surprisingly good...

Beautifully written and the narrative is spot looking forward to The Ninjas Oath book number 4 in this series. A home run for Tori Eldridge 😎

I love this series

I started with “Ninja Betrayed” because that was the book the Capitol Crimes Chapter featured on their Book Club. (I still need to review it, sorry Tori.) I fell in love with Lily Wong and just had to know her back story. Ninja’s Daughter didn’t disappoint. I am fascinated by this character and can’t wait to read the next book in this series The Ninja’s Blade. The added bonus of the cultural and language primer at the end drew me even more into Lily’s world. Thanks!

It took me a while to get into this story. I didn't know what was going on - or what the point of the story was until Chapter 6. Once I understood what was going on, it developed into an entertaining story. The narrator did an excellent job.

Entertaining listen

The story and narration are top notch. The characters are well fleshed out and the story is engrossing. I hope to see more of Lilly, her family and allies.

An excellent story you'll want more

The story was great. A strong feminist read where the lead doesn't need saving and instead can handle whatever comes her way. At least that's the gist I got from it since the narrator choice made it almost impossible to listen to. She doesn't sound west coast, california girl at all..... as a matter of fact I had to check to see if it was Natasha Leggero reading because the narrator sounds like a stuck up east coast socialite. Sorry, I really wanted to like this but I had to delete after 5 chapters. I'll try reading it without the narration.

I love the story...... but

All the voice characters seemed wrong. Her affect is very irritating. Unable to get past chapter 3 or so.

Narration too much to take

…which was nothing, thank heavens.

Like me, you may have had the experience, while listening to or reading a book, of being reminded—by some insightful turn of phrase or brilliant twist you didn’t see coming—that you’re in sure hands, that the author is masterful enough to do more than simply list a series of events, that what you’re reading is a real, substantial book. This didn’t occur at any point during the Ninja Daughter. In fact, the opposite happened: I found myself frequently stopping the narrative in exasperation at some clichéd or amateurish bit of prose, over-explained joke or unlikely plot point. I listened to it a month ago, and I should have written this review immediately after finishing the book, so that I could easily remember specific examples to illustrate how lame it is, but I guess the fact that after a month, all I really recall is the bad taste it put in my mouth is just as telling.

Worth What I Paid

I lived and worked in los angles since 1978. As Lily traveled through the city it felt like I was on the bike with her. Excellent job. I hope this the first of many adventures

Very entertaining
