deusauri 's review for:
A Hero Born: The Definitive Edition
by Jin Yong
WHY would you translate the character names into english instead of just using pinyin.
that aside, this was a fun introduction to wuxia novels. i’ve watched many chinese dramas with wuxia elements in it but (am somewhat ashamed to say) had never read a wuxia book before, and i was pleasantly surprised by how fun this first book of the series was and how easy it was to power through. it's no pinnacle of profundity, but legend of the condor heroes is exactly the kind of series you read to be transported out of your own world for a while. i might pick up a version by a different translator when i continue the series though…
