An amazing book, fascinating and complex.
I was a bit confused at the beginning by the high number of characters and the unusual style of writing, I didn't read the first installment in this series, but after a bit I was hooked and couldn't put this book down.
Even if it's marketed as the Chinese Lord of the Ring it's definitely something else, not sharing anything with Tolkien work.
A lot of fantasy book set in Far East are being published but this the real thing, a real Chinese work and it's like discovering a wonderful world and you don't know if that world comes out the mind of the writer or is the historical depiction of an era. In the end you don't mind as you're engrossed in reading.
I look forward to reading further installment in this series.
