To be honest, few people know about the Guiyi Army during the late Tang Dynasty, so its name is not very appealing. In addition, the opening was indeed a bit bland, some of the dialogues were too long, and the writing was somewhat lacking, so I didn't expect the results to be too good. But I never expected it to be this bad, not even reaching eight points.
A serious book, suitable for someone like me. It's much more enjoyable to read than so-called highly rated masterpieces or feel-good novels. It's clear that the author put a lot of effort into writing it, infusing it with emotion. Five stars! I hope you can keep writing.
At first glance, it didn't evoke much emotion, but as the layers were peeled back, the true nature of silk was revealed. The long-buried past, as the author narrated it, suddenly became so poignant, presenting the magnificent and powerful history of the Tang Dynasty. The history of the Han people is also the history of the formation of a warrior nation.
The Guiyi Army is a relatively unknown part of Chinese history, and the author has clearly put a lot of effort into it.
The best historical novel about the Tang Dynasty I've ever read; the last time I enjoyed reading this much was when I read "Qin Official".
The language and plot design of this book are excellent, but it's a pity that the ending is too rushed. Did the author run out of writing material? It's a rare good book with a great theme, but it would be even better if it were a bit more exciting.
I had intended to stop reading historical novels after nearly a year of obsession, but after finishing this late Tang Dynasty historical novel, I was truly captivated. It's incredibly realistic, with a superb grasp of human nature, logic, and the characteristics of the various ethnic groups in Northwest China!
It was a well-written treasure book that I had just discovered, but it ended abruptly due to a lack of readers, which is a real shame. Everyone knows about the Tang Dynasty's golden age, but after the Battle of Xiangji Temple during the An Lushan Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was no longer the same. Who still remembers the white-haired soldiers of Anxi in the history books who took pride in the Tang Dynasty until their deaths, protecting its last dignity until their own deaths or old age?
The author conducted in-depth research on this period of history, and readers can learn about the Guiyi Army at the end of the Tang Dynasty through the author's writing. Unfortunately, due to a relatively small number of readers, the author ended the book hastily, which is a great pity. Even so, the book is well-written and still worth reading.
The ending felt a bit rushed, but I did empathize with the author's later writing. Good works stand the test of time, and authors shouldn't focus too much on readers' demands for more updates; they should think long-term and consider the bigger picture. I think the biggest flaw in this book is the excessive depiction of past romance.
