mythaster 's review for:
A Hero Born: The Definitive Edition
by Jin Yong
It was fun! It's not really my favorite subgenre to read - the 1950s are not my go-to decade for adventure stories, because of their general emphasis on plot and fighting over character arcs - but there's a lot of fun stuff here. That feels a little disrespectful considering what this series is to their intended Chinese-speaking audience but, yk, I kind of feel the same way about Lord of the Rings, so...
The way there are multiple female characters, with different personalities and, insofar as any of the characters get arcs besides Guo Jing, their own arcs... that fills my heart with happiness. Jade Han is my favorite, but Lotus! I love her! Lotus is a b*tch and I like her so much!
