Picked it up based on a recommendation and didn't think I would like it but got invested in the story very quickly and can't wait to read the next ones! His writing is captivating but generally easy to follow and you can really tell that the author has done his research. Ngl at some points I got a bit confused with certain names but it wasn't too much of a problem overall.

Bekter is a bastard, Eeluk is a bastard, Wen Chao, Temujin is a bastard but also the protagonist so we’ll let it slide for now. Hoelun is the greatest. 8/10.
