Book Reviews of Bridge of Birds: A Novel of an Ancient China That Never Was
Book Review: The best book I have ever read.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always enjoyed books that cross boundaries - this novel is part fantasy, part mystery, part thriller and part romance. Set in the ancient China of myth and legend, this is a rollercoaster of a story describing the search for a mystical cure for a poisoned village mixed up with the battle against a sinister warlord. The plot is tight and complex - there is more story in this one paperback that in most of the flabby three volume "Lord Of The Rings" clones currently inhabiting our book stores.
Buy it and, if you can find them, the two sequels.
