"Like every fairy tale you're ever loved, imbued with jokes and epic grandeur. Prepare to be swept along." (Jamie Buxton, Daily Mail)

What a whirlwind of a story!
The next instalment in the Heroes of the Condor series introduces a whole score of new characters and at first I was somewhat disappointed not to be able to follow Guo Jing and Lotus anymore as they only appear briefly and are not at the heart of this story. However, the plot picked up and raced forward at astonishing pace, the new characters were complex, deep, fun and fascinating, the story weaved unpredictably towards a dramatic cliffhanger and I cannot wait for the next book to be translated. All hail Gigi Chang!
Daniel York Loh is one of my favourite narrators, he is absolutely amazing and I couldn’t wish for a better voice to tell me this story. I can’t recommend the series enough, read it people, it’s brilliant.

The enjoyable saga continues
I am extremeley happy that York Loh carries on narrating this super saga. His dulcet narrating and the lovely way he pronounces the names and concepts pulls me right in. As a learner of Mandarin Chinese it's doubly lovely to listen. The story is completely action-packed of course. The only problem is my disliking of the main character in this one...grandpa Yang would be appalled. Hope Hibiscus will hammer some sense into him at some point, because he is just obnoxious!!
