“Oh so much beheading ... like seriously how is there anybody left alive in central China by 200AD given all of the waring and mass murdering of entire families??!! If I had to chose between being transported to Westeros or China during this time, I would risk white walkers and dragons instead of trying to survive all the tyranny going on during this 10 year time period.
A engaging read despite all this death ... fun drinking game is to drink any time a page goes by without someone getting killed or beheaded ... you will be very sober unfortunately.
Highly recommend if you're interested.”
