Under Heaven
by Guy Gavriel Kay
I love GGK's writing and how he makes ancient civilizations seem real and vibrant. This book takes place in a fictional world based on the Tang Dynasty. It explores a key moment in that history and attempts to make sense of the many key players and the decisions they made. However, not all of the storytelling made sense. Li-Mei's POV is interesting but ultimately feels pointless. Yes, it's fun to see how past events/people can influence current events but I feel like her story didn't go anywhere. I also felt the romance at the end came out of nowhere.
