A review by sushai
Brothers by Da Chen
3.0
An epic story with compelling characters devolved into a Hollywood-style jumble of unrealistic heroism and villainy, too many suspenseful situations "solved" by deus ex machina, and a fairy-tale-like plot where all the women and girls are beautiful and there mainly to serve as love interests for the male leads.
It's really too bad, because the setup of the book is really interesting, and I thought it would be more about how reversals of fortunes lead people to have empathy and kindness. Instead, the lead characters only crave power and money and fight for the love of the beautiful conquest.
