Anything y'all trying to wrap up before the end of the year? I was bad at posting and my lists are all messed up. Split my reading between physical and audio at work.
Book two in the Legend of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong "A Bond Undone." In which we spend a bit more time with the other child, Yang Kang. Who just found out/took the rose colored glasses off that his life might be a bit of a lie and hasn't come to grips with it. Meanwhile, Guo Jing and Lotus are having a wonderful time seeing the country, encountering martial masters and "definitely not learning from them" because of excellent cooking. Unfortunately a figure from his past crashes into his life again, hopefully his skull is hard.
Translated by Gigi Chang, thank you so much. I'll be sure to sneak copies into friends libraries.
Narrated by Daniel York Loh, very much enjoy the voice for a new character Hong Qigong. I too, can be convinced with food.
Reasons to read:
-Picks up immediately from the last book
-Backstory on some of the foes
-Hmm the context of a book being misconstrued, causing conflict? Only happens every now and then... Oh wait
-That's a lot of snakes
-Excellent names for moves
-I want to see some folks get comeuppance
Cons:
-Guo Jing, sometimes violence is the answer
