Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu (Novel) Vol. 1

Perfect..

Foi muito bom receber ele, veio bem lacrado e tudo é lindo

Aunque es un libro introductorio a la historia, comienza con varias intrigas. Me gustó que está ambientado en un período histórico real e incluye algunos personajes históricos de China.Aún no hay romance, pero la interacción entre los protagonistas es bastante interesante.

I love all of it! Everything is perfect! I have big expectations for the other books of the serie!A Must for all damnei fans!

As an avid reader of BL, Yaoi, and anything gay at all I am super happy to report to my like minded kin that this book and its appearance are complimentary matches to other such BL titles like Heaven Official's Blessing, Husky and His white Cat Shizun, and Grandmaster of demonic Cultivation. The artwork is very well done and reminds me of a more classic yaoi anime or manga style. Like, the kind that was sexy not the kind with the distorted faces and expressions. The look they chose for Yan Wushi is more a direct reflection of what he is in the book rather then the animated adaptation of this story which had him look rather flamboyantly gay. More trickster-ish attractive rather then devilishly handsome. Though Yan Wushi does love tricks, mind games, and words play. In the actual novel he has a bit more sexy villain or diabolical looking vibe to him. Which I think that artist captured very nicely! This more classically handsome masculine appearance pairs well with our little Shen Qiao who is as pretty as a percaline doll. Shen looks very similar to his animated counterpart but that because the animated design for Shen was more directly taken from the book then Yan's was. So, in summery, the artwork is spot on a perfect for this type of story. I love it when BL stories get more anime style artwork. It's just a cherry on top!NOW! On to a review of the book itself. Thousand Autumns is a story about a betrayed man, Shen Qiao, who despite facing considerable hardships designed to test his compassion and convictions still remains true to his ethics, morals, and hope in humanity. He is the type of protagonist that you like to root for and protect because he's just such a good person through and through. Yan Wushi being his love interest is interesting because the beginning of their relationship is founded on the disbelief that Yan has no hope in humanity what so ever. Thus they are a couple comprised of opposites and that does make for an interesting dynamic as the story progresses. However I would warn my fellow fangirls and boy that this story, unlike some others, has no sex in it and the two do not officially get together. Its unfortune, but the story is very well done regardless of the lack of sex and is very much worth the read. Beside their is considerable flirting so their relationship is not subtext but actual text. All in all a VERY good read and if you already have other similar titles add this to your collection as well.
