I think I’ll be continuing the series! I did enjoy it more than The Grace of Kings. It still read like a history book rather than an epic, though, but I’m thinking that’s because of the translation. It’s interesting - there’s a lot more “tell”, not “show”, especially in characters’ dialogues, like when they’re talking to someone and refer to them by their full name, including their kung fu name I guess?, as well as a brief description of their location and history of their name. I don’t love how everyone keeps calling Guo Jing dumb and slow and all the adjectives, but is that another translation issue? Or is that a cultural thing in kung fu books? I’m a little worried I’m missing out on things because of the cultural differences. But yeah, I definitely want to continue this series versus the Dandelion Dynasty. I’m curious about the prose of the next book since it’s translated by someone different.
