Three Kingdoms: A Historical Novel by Guanzhong Luo) Roberts Moss (trans)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can now say I've read the full Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In English. With very little context. lol

BUT, I did flow with it even if I often got lost in a sea of names, often always those names dying in quick, gruesome manners. It reminds me a lot of how I felt when I first read the Iliad. An endless progression of the dead and soon-to-be-dead. But this is war, and at this point, GENERATIONS of war. It's beautiful and rich and as I said before, rather requires a full map with markers for troops.

Am I happy I finally got through it?

Yep.

Was I often overwhelmed?

Yep.

But since I am not studying to be either an ancient Chinese scholar or an armchair tactician, I still feel like I got a lot out of it.

Challenge accepted and met.
