rebeccazh 's review for:
无双 Peerless
by 梦溪石, Meng Xi Shi
i'm too lazy to write a proper review. scattered thoughts: this was such a fun ride -- lots of good tropey stuff and it is more 'genre-y' than [b:千秋 Qian Qiu |50169322|千秋 Qian Qiu |Meng Xi Shi (梦溪石)|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1567557176l/50169322._SX50_SY75_.jpg|73534980], which seemed very experimental and read more like a character study (i loved it though).
just a note that there is the usual portrayal of non-Han Chinese ethnic groups as barbarians and savages skilled in dark magic, poison, curses...
this author also really likes politics and it was hard to keep track of and stay interested with the many side characters that appeared in the last arc. one of the villains was brought in really late (felt a bit abrupt -- lack of build-up) and i felt that the last bit would have been stronger if she had been incorporated into the story more frequently.
anyway, this was so fun!
