Finally finishied “The Walking Drum”, but yeah it was one junk (loven the language, i know) of a long book.
But how long does the essay have to be?
The book though, dont get me wrong, was amazing. It was a weird mix of a warriors story out to save his dad, and also a story of a kid growing up using his wits to get out of everything.
(minor note: Mr. Needle is just that amazing!)
