Romance of the three kingdoms is a great story based on a real time period in Chinese history. Because it was written in Chinese so many years ago there is a lot that does not translate. Add to it cultural aspects and some parts can be pretty confusing. This podcast tells the story and explains things that would otherwise go unnoticed or misunderstood.

One of the best stories ever written brought to life

I've only just started listening, but so far I'm having lots of fun.
This podcast is intended for people who've never read The Three Kingdoms, and aren't very familiar with the story.

the only real complaint I have is that for some reason Audible skips some episodes. The list goes from 027, and jump to 041 for no obvious reason. Fortunately, you can still find the missing episodes on the web site.

A great podcast.

Each episode helps bring each moment and character to life in a story filled with dozens of characters and events to keep things organized.

Bite-sized episodes of a huge epic

I'm just beginning to learn about Chinese history and saw this book referenced a couple times. All the translated book reviews said the books were horrible and unreadable. Then I lucked into this podcast. I am seriously hooked. Narrator is amazing and I love the book itself. So glad it's made available to English listeners

Way Beeter Than Game of Thrones

Super grateful that this podcasts has made the novel accessible to me. I don’t speak Chinese, and I have been struggling to find an unabridged English copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Excellent
