Hands down the best Chinese historical fiction I've read this year.

It is way out of the league of traditional BL novels. The author wraps the Chinese art of war, Feudal era geopolitics, and philosophical struggle of war as a means for peace under a romantic story and reels the readers in the journey of a genius political mind orchestrating a state to divide and conquer its neighboring rivalries. The advantage a totalitarian has against democracies in wars and the inevitable catastrophe a forceful unification will bring about were also truthfully illustrated.

The story harbors the perspective of an honorable statesman that exists typically only in boring autography or memoirs. But rest assured, this book cannot be further away from being boring. The intriguing relations among the protagonists and mysterious assassins and the stunning, open-minded culture of gender liberation in the story setting never failed to bring the readers surprises worthy of squeaks and tears. Did I mention this is a heartwarming love story between two brothers? Wait for the book to blow your mind.

This book makes me feel blessed to be able to read Chinese. Hopefully, an English version will ensue in the foreseeable future.

I'd like to mention that the author is well versed in more than just a few genres, including but not limited to classics, fantasy, and sci-fi; He is ridiculously good at bringing the sidekicks to life, along with propelling storylines that can leave reverberation in my mind for years.


山有木兮是年來最令我驚艷的中國架空歷史小說,毫無懸念。

這部作品的格局已遠超過BL 小說的層次。作者在死生契闊的同性愛情包裝下,講述的是一個架空的封建時代,皇權名存實亡,諸侯國割據、爭戰到統一的故事。

非天夜翔簡練生動的文字功力,總能自然而然把讀者吸進主角的世界裏,跟著他絞盡腦汁解救天下人於水火,隨著他運用諸侯國間的歷史矛盾,配合地緣政治,一步步制定兵法策略,朝理想中的和平而努力,過程中還不斷出現計劃趕不上變化的意外,令人啼笑皆非。

讀者也將隨著主角為以戰止戰的大是大非而掙扎,也將質疑武統後生靈塗炭的和平意義在哪。值得一提的是,極權專制政體相對於民主國家在戰爭上具有的絕對優勢,以及承平時期,主權國家間為確保國際和平與正義,主動出讓部分主權,設立一個至高政治機制的做法(類似像聯合國、歐盟的概念)也在這個架空世界中被探討辯證過。

主角堅信人人生而平等,王道即民心的政治家胸懷,通常只能在難啃的自傳或回憶錄中找到。但這本書卻沒有給讀者留下任何無聊的機會。故事主角們與神秘刺客間耐人尋味的糾葛,以及該架空年代對於同性交往的開放態度,總能給讀者帶來不斷的震撼及的驚喜。別忘了,這可是兩兄弟間的愛情故事。等著讓這本書打開你新視界的大門吧!

順帶一提,非天夜翔擅長多種文體,無論是古風、玄幻、科幻、現代同志文學等,各有令人愛不釋手的理由;他筆下的配角群總是至情至性,充滿人格魅力,他們的故事即使在多年後,仍能在我腦海中餘韻長存。

因為這部作品,讓我更深刻感受到看得懂中文是莫大的幸福。山有木兮雖未必完美,但無疑是部宏大、靈動、極富內涵的極品。希望英文版本也能趕快出現,讓全世界都看得到非天的驚人才華!
