Another book trilogy bites the dust. These thick novels are described as an epic historical military fantasy, inspired by the bloody history of China's twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic.

If you are into fantasy heroes given super-human powers by warring gods in another higher realm, then you might enjoy this book series. Lots of blood, gore and mass genocide. Burn down this world!

I am not a big fan of this kind of action-filled genre, but I did manage somehow to make it through two pages short of 1800 pages, which might mean something in the end.

There are simply too many wars and battles throughout the books that I found the plot weak and the character building limited to violence and erratic behavior.

To be honest, I have no idea why this trilogy has received so many raving reviews, maybe I missed something.
