Wonderful to see. Just finished the trilogy - extremely thought provoking and I enjoyed all of them. So interesting to see a Chinese perspective - how someone whose life experience was shaped by the cultural revolution would think about humanity. A couple questions for discussion (doing my best to phrase in a non-spoiling way):

Could anyone interpret the “land of no stories” fable before they cracked it? Incredible talent to put a compelling story in a story and have the awesome metaphors.

Did the sword holder make the right decision? What about the second time?

Would you choose black domain or the alternative?

Why did Wade make the decision he did?
