I know everyone loves it but I’m bored to tears. Maybe I’ll revisit another time.

"All life is an experiment. Who can plan so far ahead? I just promise myself to do the most intereseting thing everythime there is an opportunity."
"Great men do not wait for their greatness to be recognized."
The islands of Dara erupt into war once more as external and internal forces rip apart the vicious Xana empire. A rebellion that sparks among a group of refugees grows to consume a war-god reborn named Mata Zyndu and the humble-born bandit Kuni Garu and propels the two to become the most important people throughout the islands for years to come.
I fell in love with this book. The series is about 2.5 years old at this point, but I had never heard of it when I grabbed it off the shelf at Barnes & Noble; now, I am chomping at the bit waiting to get my hands on [b:The Wall of Storms|18952381|The Wall of Storms (The Dandelion Dynasty, #2)|Ken Liu|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1455985460s/18952381.jpg|26965697]. My eye is firmly fixed on Ken Liu now for whatever else he may surprise me with.
Until I picked this book up, I had felt stuck in a reading rut, but once it really stuck its teeth into me it pulled me right out.
