Hi everyone. My current blog will have a LOT of summary so bear with me. Im am currently reading a book that is called Three Kingdoms. It is a famous Chinese classic( glad it was translated). Their is no real main character because it shifts between different peoples views. Right now the 3 main sides are the North led by Cao Cao, the East and West led by Xuande, and the South led by Sun Quan. Nobody takes over China eventually but instead seperated into 3 Kingdoms led by the heirs of the leaders shown above.
If there was a main Character it would be Xuande and his Brothers Lord Guan and Zhang Fei( lots of people so many similar names). They took an oath in a Peach Garden and thus became Brothers. Recently 1 Brother, Lord Guan, was captured and beheaded(.......) and his eldest Brother Xuande is preparing for a counterattack. I read through the books a lot faster now because I am more used to the Characters. I am suprised by the fact I am able to finish a single book in 2 to 4 weeks especially because they are longer now. Right now I happen to be on book 4 of 7.
This series has Strategy ,emotion , and some funny stuff( which sometimes isn't very 'clean' funny). Such as a man butchering his wife to feed Xuande, no offence anyone. Another is they were trying to capture Cao Cao and said Cao Cao's the one in the Red Robe, so he took it of, then they said he had a long beard so he cut it short, then they said he had short whiskers so he covered his chin with a banner. Lots of violence is in this book so viewer discretion is advised. At first it was boring but after you finish the first book it is very addicting.
sequel intended
