天涯客 [Tiān Yá Kè] Faraway Wanderers by priest

adventurous dark funny slow-paced

3.0

I don't quite know how I felt about this book. Obviously I read it after watching Word of Honour and I enjoyed the darker characterization of the 2 leads as well as the development of their relationship. All the other secondary characters were not particularly engaging. On that front I much preferred the TV show. While I found the ending of the tv show a bit too melodramatic (with the angst, hurt comfort potential falling short), I can see why they did it. The ending to the book is quite anticlimactic and swift. The larger plot doesn't make up the meat of the story and so is not super engaging.
