A review by miramanga
Eight Skilled Gentleman by Barry Hughart

5.0

I'm so very, very sad that this is the last book in the series. Barry Hughart is one of my favourite and most cherished authors and I haven't found another to compare to him in many, many years of reading..

This story is more action packed than the others and full of mythology and quirky characters. I have adored going on journeys with Master Li despite his slight flaw and I have fallen in love with Number Ten Ox three times over now.

Highly recommend all the books in this series.
