Title: Very enjoyable "fantasy" novel
Review: Not your typical fantasy story, but more of a revisionist historical novel set in a "fantasy" setting...what makes this novel so amazing are the characters - Master Li, Number Ten, and literally every single person they come across in their epic journey. My one flaw is with Number Ten Ox, the narrator. Of all the characters in the story, both male and female...he comes across as the weakest. I never truly felt like I got his character as much as the others. But other than that, I loved this book!! The Duke of Ch'In, the Man in the Mountain, Jade Pearl, Miser Shen...so many hilarious and memorable characters that aid and deter our leads on their journey of finding the Great Root of Power!!!! Great book!!
