I just finished The Grace of Kings - it is an epic fantasy book by Ken Liu. Interestingly enough, he was also the translator of Cixin Liu's The Three Body Problem. The Grace of Kings was pretty fantastic in that it was just something really different in a pretty stale genre: third person omniscient; Polynesian setting; and a story that is told much like Romance of the Three Kingdoms and is basically the fantasy version of the Chu-Han Contention and the fall of the Qin Dynasty in Chinese history. It was fucking awesome. It's strange, cause when I first read about the clusterfuck that was the rise of the Han Dynasty I thought it would make an awesome fantasy book and someone went and did it. I'm glad. Right now I'm reading The Sorrow of War because I read The Things They Carried last week and I wanted a war novel from the perspective of the Vietnamese.
