Only this far in the series and I can see such value in the little things presented here. The artistic direction of it all can almost certainly rise above so many other stories around. Everything exhibits such symbolism and power it can even give you a slight chill. The facial expressions, the angles from the fights to just regular conversation, the characters, the depth, the backgrounds. More beautiful than words can explain.
I must dust my pockets off now and resume purchasing the rest of this series until my wallet falls ill. Brb¡...more
stupid Matahatchi. I hope he trips and falls in a ditch somewhere.

I must say I really enjoyed this more than I originally thought I would. I don¡¯t always enjoy stories so early on and with such ease. This first volume of Vagabond just flowed like water to me and before I knew it, it was over. I¡¯m already forming bonds with characters, I¡¯m laughing, I¡¯m frustrated, and I¡¯m connected. Very nice....more

My jaw has dropped, my senses are tingling, and book two? Book two, is that you calling my name? It¡¯s summoning me right now in this moment! I¡¯m rereading this TONIGHT!
First thoughts on the novel: I LOVE ME SOME SHEN ZECHUAN AND SOME XIAO CHIYE! If I could get just about every sarcastic comment and flirty reply between the two ingrained on my frontal lobe I¡¯d sell my whole child for that (im jk I think)! I also really love the political aspect of this novel. It¡¯s rich and juicy with cultural elements and so much internal tension, suffering, conflicts that will go unsolved for generations¡ you name it!
If hopes and dreams were real then xiao chiye would kick me and shen lanzhou would bite me. That¡¯s all I want in life. I SEE YOU JUDGING ME but damn. I love me a complicated storyline with angst, hatred, AND overwhelming desire. DROWN ME IN IT ...more
