In the kingdoms of the Central Plains, power and prestige are fleeting; today’s friend may become tomorrow’s most bitter foe. Following a daring rescue amid a coup that marks the end of a dynasty, the virtuous Daoist Shen Qiao gets word of another power struggle that calls him home to Xuandu Mountain. But before he even reaches his destination, a whisper upon the wind cuts into Shen Qiao’s heart: Yan Wushi has challenged Hulugu to a battle to the death.
The ever-shrewd Shen Qiao will need to make the most of his martial training to survive the calamity that surrounds him. There’s just one question that lingers in Shen Qiao’s heart: when the dust settles, will that which he holds dearest still remain?
I was excited to read the conclusion to Thousand Autumns and it didn't disappoint. The final volume wrapped up the story nicely and I enjoyed seeing the culmination of the relationship between Shen Qiao and Yan Wushi, which has been one of my favourite danmei pairings out of those I have read so far -- definitely in my top five. As always, the illustrations scattered throughout the story were great. Meanwhile, the extra stories and snatches presented at the end of the book were also fun to read, and while I am sad Thousand Autumns is over, I look forward to starting Peerless, set in the same world, soon. This volume, and Thousand Autumns as a whole, gets five stars from me. Recommended to fans of BL fantasy/wuxia danmei.
