OR Q2 #3

ok readahz. i have put myself in a predicament. i went and finished my book. like two days ago. and my first post was pretty late in the book, sooooooooo im gonna go back to the beginning for the rest of my posts and work towards the end.

so in the opening of the book, genghis and all his homedogz (more than half of the mongol tribes) are takin on the last alliance against his unification of the clans. long story short, genghis pwnd with tactics, and lots and lots of tribesman joined him when it was over. Kokchu comes into play here, as he is all AAAGH DONT KILL ME in his head and genghis is like why shoudnlt i keel you? skill set plz. so he shanks himself and it doesnt bleed (for a few seconds) and genghis is like whoa skillz u stay and he becomes the nation's shaman. taaa daaaaaaaaaaaaa.

OR Q2 #2

INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY outside reading book, i just read an excerpt in which the khan gets knifed!!!!!! THIS IS SERIOUS BADNESS because if the khan dies then the entire horde has to leave the capital of china (which they have surrounded) and book it back to his homeland on the plains to give him a ceremonial burial. if they leave, then its GAME OVER MAN. this means that they essentially just lose all that they have fought for so far. and i mean he's the freakin main character, that would be crazy to have it end like that, soooooo to the rescue comes the tribe's seer KOKCHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU i know what an ultimate name, right? so he does some intense ritual stuff like making this warrior guy chug charcoal (o. O?) and mumblin' sum mumbo jumbo and being all 'eyyyyy, don' worry 'bout it!' and the scene closes with the khan being led into a ger and being cared for as the women and children wig out and the warriors all get ready to beat down the chinese.

OR Q2 #1

Myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy book for outside reading will be the book by Conn Iggulden entitled Genghis: Lords of the Bow. This book is the sequel to the book I posted for my recommended novel (Genghis: Birth of an Empire). I chose to read this book because hey, its the sequel and I really liked the first one and Conn Iggulden is an amazing writer. I read the first book while I was on vacation, and its safe to say that it rocked my world. Yes it IS as intense as it sounds.
