Whoa! This boom blew me away.

It is a a historical fantasy retelling of the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I was so invested in our main Character Zhu and he’d absolute stubborn WILL for survival and greatness.

The fantasy elements were deftly written, in a way that makes it seem natural. That this all ACTUALLY happened. We have some hard-hitting prose, that captures your heart and then shatters it, and some of the best, most complex,  characters I’ve ever read about.

A humble mention to chapter 21 (iykyk).
