看前几回觉得好无聊,不过几个主要女角出场之后就稍微活泼起来,及至后面那些melodramatic的东西(误会、巧合、多角情感)出现就正式进入类型化,开始典型地“好看”了。虽然现在的眼光看来不甚新鲜,但是那个年代能把这些桥段铺排好同时又能拿捏一定的生活情致也是不错了,写景写细节挺有况味。不过人物方面真的要吐槽一下,如果说男主是个prototype张无忌,那何丽娜大概就是prototype任盈盈,都很扁平(不过书生男主大概带点自我投射还比较真实点),关秀姑是善柔吧所以最博得现在人的好感。续书的前半还不错,有点生命不息恋爱不止的意思,但写死凤喜又硬转家国大事就很强行……最后还是祖师奶奶点评得精准:不高不低。
A very typical melodramatic book. Good thing is the writing, it is very well balanced in terms of plots and prospects. Passages about city views and life details are vivid and clean. But most of the characters are rather flat. First half of the sequel is nice, but the second half is changes too abruptly into this revolutionary model play which the writer is not good at.
