Thousand Autumns: Qian Qiu (Novel) Vol. 3

Well, it's volume three, and I am still not convinced, but continue reading 😂 I really don't care for the political plot, even though I normally like historical dramas, and I think it's interesting that it's mixed with real historical figures and stuff, but it just doesn't get me emotionally. As you can tell from the cover, Yan Wushi isn't in the best condition in this volume, and despite everything, Shen Qiao helps him. The reason for this is also supposed to be connected to the political drama, but that was kinda weird to me since Shen Qiao never seemed to care about that, but suddenly, he does 🤷🏻‍♂️ Well, they have their own adventures on the run and that part was fine. Yan Wushis' "condition" here was quite interesting, but at the same time, I missed his normal demeanor, so it didn't really give me much. For the last volume, I said the slow burn is well done (meaning nothing happened yet, but the atmosphere was prepared), but idk anymore. Generally, I would still say nothing happened yet (besides a few forced kisses without real emotions), but there was one scene that alluded to something more. It feels weird, though. If there are feelings, I don't get where they came from 😅 As Yan Wushi said, "Foolish A-Qiao, when have I ever been good to you?". Shen Qiao is also a weird protagonist. He has too little of a personality for me. Like, I do not not like him, but he also isn't that interesting to me. Besides his newly found interest in the politics of the kingdoms, he doesn't really have a goal? Like, idk what his mission is, besides being virtuous. The only thing that was really great was to see his martial growth. That scene where he had like an epiphany and pondered the Zhuyang Strategy was really interesting. I don't think I understood everything because it was very metaphorical, but I would be interested in an explanation. So, all in all, I still don't care for the plot, the slowburn isn't burning yet, and I don't understand their relationship. The best things in this volume were some of their conversations and Shen Xiaos' growth. I hope the next volume talks more about feelings, and in a way I can understand 😅

Hatte am Ende ein wenig meine Probleme aber sonst habe ich es sehr genossen. Extrem spannend und gut aufgebaut. Ich habe dieses Buch nahezu verschlungen, ausser das Ende eben. Zu Yan Wushi pflege ich immer noch eine gutmütige Hassliebe, aber ich fange an ihn mehr zu mögen aber auch nur so ganz vorsichtig. Weil wenn er wieder ne Scheisse abzieht mit Shen Qiao wird es dann wieder schwierig. Aber ich glaube das es sich bessert, hoffe ich zumindest. Aber zu 99% wird es schon so sein sind ja nur noch zwei Bücher to go. Also zu Shen Qiao habe ich nicht wirklich was anderes zu sagen ausser dass ich ihn absolut liebe. Ich liebe es wie er zu 100% zu sich und seiner Sicht auf die Welt steht und nicht sich con jemanden reinreden lässt. Auch finde ich es nice wie er die anderen zu Affen macht und dass mit dem ruhigsten Auftreten. I love him so much!! Die Reihe ist eine gutgemeinte Empfehlung von mit und ich bin happy dass ich den 4. Band schon zuhause und den 5. schon vorbestellt habe.

zu viel mag ich nicht verraten, aber dieser Band ließ sich deutlich leichter lesen als die beiden Vorgänger. Ich musste mich nicht quälen. Shen Qiao mag ich weiterhin super gerne und ich freue mich jeden Mal, wenn er stärker wird. Yan Wushi hingegen... der Mann ist eine wandelnde 🚩 und jedes Mal, wenn ich denke, er bessert sich, zerstört er in dem nächsten Augenblick alles. 🤣 Bin gespannt wie es in Band 4 weitergeht.
