The biggest tragedy of Peach Blossom comes when it ends. Western fiction, especially fantasy, has become very repetitive- generally retelling the same stories or same characters over and over again. We in the west have once again become obsessed with heroes and heroines who are flawless and idealized. Our heroes and heroines are perfect, brilliant, amazing, the best at what they do, they do no wrong-- and that makes for a very tedious, boring read.What made Peach blossom stand out was that it embraced a heroine who had strong points and weak points both; she could be clever and witty, she could be vain and proud. Her charm and wit sometimes saving her, and her faults often lead to disaster. In the end, the story's tragedy comes not from some generic outside villain like in contemporary western fantasy, but rather because of the faults of the two leads- Quian's pride and Yen Hua's deception.The story follows along a beautiful dramatic arc- moments of tragedy are painful because they are contrasted against moments of humor, moments of heartbreak are painful because they are contrasted against moments of love. Rather than following the stale pattern of contemporary western fantasy novels where a perfect, flawless hero has to go up against an evil foe only to come out victorious in the end, Peach Blossom follows a painfully human trajectory of mistakes, successes, loss and redemption. This is truly an epic adventure, and the first book that has made me cry in a long, long time.Through its rich world building, a westerner can catch glimpses of the rich world of Chinese folklore- rituals of Taoism, the disciplines of Buddhist teachings, and ancient Chinese myths play a large part in the story and catches the imagination and curiosity of any westerner who might not be familiar with those things.As I said, the tragedy in Peach Blossom comes when you realise it's over. After being given a glimpse into the remarkable world of Chinese fantasy and mythology, one yearns for more- but unfortunately, there is a great lack of Chinese fantasy novels and romances available in the western market.If this mere glimpse into popular Chinese literature is anything to go by, then clearly it has so many wonderful and unique and amazing qualities that most Westerners will never have access to. As western writers have made an impact on the world with stories like Harry Potter and Robin Hood that have crossed the boundaries of countries and introduced foreign nations to English folktales, imagine how far Chinese authors might go in introducing the world to China's beautiful and unique literary voice and rich literary and mythological heritage.There are Western writers who have tried to write stories about Chinese legends or set in China, but the written Chinese voice is inimitable. There's a cadence unique to the Mandarin writer or the Cantonese writer that, when well translated, carries across the ocean. It is a beautiful, unique voice. And if western fantasy is currently lacking in anything, it is very much lacking in beauty and uniqueness.The bitterness that comes at the end of Peach Blossom is not just because of the story's bittersweet end, but because we don't know how long it will be until another Chinese novel of this quality might be made available to us.I have read that this book is plagiarized. I have read that this book isn't even among the best Chinese fantasy has to offer. Right now, this is among the best (and only) examples of xianxia romance literature available to the English market. If there is more, better, then please- let all the happy, excited reviews show how eager we are for more Chinese fiction!

I have been watching the Chinese television series, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms (Eternal Love), on Drama Fever. The series is based upon the novel. The Prologue of the novel is covered in the first 25 episodes of the series. Chinese screenwriters do no delete scenes. So, if you are having difficulty following the story, I recommend you watch the series in conjunction with reading the novel. The story is both a romance and a fantasy. The story is a bit complex in that it jumps back and forth between the past and present and the mortal and immortal realms. However, it unfolds a beautiful tapestry of love, betrayal, and redemption.

The style of writing that Tang Qi uses took a bit of getting used to by me, but once I did I enjoyed the book quite a bit. I, like many others, saw the drama "10 Miles of Peach Blossoms" and heard so much about the book from the comments that I decided to get it. I'm glad that I did - the books always give you a much better idea as to what the characters were thinking, much better than the actors can portray. (No slight there - those actors were fantastic! It was just a very complicated story) There were some variations from page to screen but nothing that couldn't be reconciled. I liked the last 100 pages best - when the very complex story came together and all of the seemingly loose ends tied together in a perfect knot. Patience is needed - not a book to rush through. Take your time and enjoy the fantasy!

As someone who has watched the drama series Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, I enjoyed this book. I'm not sure if it's the translation or the words of the author, but it seems very simplistic, like a quick retelling of the drama series. Usually it's the book that has so much more detail, but in this case the book seemed to be lacking in detail compared to the drama series. Generally I want to read the book before seeing the movie or drama based on the book, but in this case, definitely watch the drama first. The drama follows the book almost exactly, but it is richer and beautifully detailed, while the book doesn't have much in the way of descriptions or details. All in all though, I definitely enjoyed it.

This book could have been an epic telling of true love that transcends all realms. But as a plagiarized work, I found that it was an awful lazy attempt at calling it a complete work. Told completely from Bai Qians point of view was a complete rip off to the reader. I think the original author with time could have honed this piece into a classic that would transcend generations. But the rip off artist robbed them of that opportunity and took an epic story and lazily turned out this tripe.That is a shame. Some of the reviews stated that it would be difficult with the jumping back and forth in time and the mortal realm. It was not.1. Bai Qain was not as unlikeable as some have stated.2. This work is amazingly amateurish. The screenwriters for the tv show did an infinitely better job of rounding out the story and characters. Giving them more depth, likability and character.3. It has homosexual overtones. Also some lite sexual descriptions. Not 50 shades of grey level of descriptions though.4. The flaws of the book are fixed in the show but the book does give insight on passage of time, some of the more confusing parts of the translations in the show, and it is also not over complicated with several story arcs.
