Stars of Chaos: Sha Po Lang (Novel) Vol. 1 by priest
4.0
<strong>I’m committed </strong>
Here’s to reading another story with multiple volumes.
This is the first of Priest’s series that I’m reading (own others but haven’t started) whether the credit goes to the author or translator or a nice balance between them the world building and story was very easy to follow for a first volume as there is a more modern tone to the speech then some of the historical fantasy. With this one being a steampunk fantasy perhaps that’s why?
I really enjoy Gun Yun’s personality especially his relationship with his assistant/aide. Gives the same vibes of an eccentric master like Sherlock and a strait laced side kick that’s constantly covering for him like Watson.
There’s an age gap between the to MCs with the Chang Geng being 14 when the story starts but any intimate/romantic feelings at this point in the story are solely that of the younger Chang Geng and it’s felt along side mentorship/idolizing.
This one feels heavy on the court politics like Peach Blossom House publication of the Imperial Uncle but not as angsty and has hints of mystical/fantasy.
