review 1: Saat memulai buku ini aku sudah menonton 2 episode awal dramanya. Saat membaca chapter pertama aku sudah tahu karakter Meng Jiu/Jiu Ye yang akan membuatku tersenyum dan menangis berulang kali ditambah lagi Hu Ge lah yang pada akhirnya memerankan sosok ini dalam versi dramanya, bayanganku akan sosok Jiu Ye sempurna sudah.Ballad of Desert adalah kisah penuh intrik dengan bahasa yang puitis yang akan menarikmu tenggelam dalam kisahnya dari halaman pertama.Yu Er :Kau karakter wanita yang kuat. Beberapa paragraf menggambarkan sosokmu yang begitu menarik.“Happiness is the flower that grows in the heart. Beautiful and seductive, lingering and enchanting a person. But the memory can lie, and I worry that one day I won’t remember today’s happiness. So I want to write down wha... moret happens from now on. So that one day when I am old, so old that I can’t even walk, I can sit on a pallet and read these hankerchiefs and see my own happiness. There will be times of sadness, but no matter if it’s happy or sad, it’s the traces of the life I led. But I will try my hardest to be happy…….”"If Jiu Ye is willing to leave Chang An, then I can throw everything here away and leave with him. But he won’t, so I have no choice but to stay here, and do what I can to be a big tree and help block him from the rain and the wind. I don’t want to be a flower seeking shelter under his branches. If the flower is a woman at her most seductive, then I still would rather be a stolid tree. That way I can alleviate some of his burdens."kau mencintai Jiu Ye sepenuh hati tanpa mendapat kepastian betapa dalam Jiu Ye menyayangimu. kau tidak mengetahui mengapa Jiu Ye melepasmu, apa alasan Jiu Ye menolakmu dengan kejam.Meski begitu pada akhirnya sejatuh-jatuhnya dirimu, kau tahu Jiu Ye akan tetap menolongnya tanpa batas. Membawamu dan Huo Qu Bing kembali dari pintu kematian berulang kali.Jiu Ye : dirimu telat selangkah. Itu yang kusesali dari karakter sempurnamu. Selangkah, hanya selangkah... ckckck... tapi kau menebusnya berulang kali sehingga menyakitkan untuk dibaca. Kau orang yang membuatku berduka untukmu. Meski aku tahu kau tidak akan mendapatkan kebahagiaanmu sendiri di kisah ini aku tetap dengan tololnya mendoakan kebahagiaanmu. Kau tahu, saat mengetik inipun aku meneteskan air mataku untukmu. Kenapa kau begitu tenang, begitu baik hati, begitu pemaaf, mendendamlah sedikit, marahlah, dengan begitu aku tidak akan begitu sakit hati saat membaca kisahmu. Kurasa aku harus berhenti membicarakan dirimu karena air mataku tidak bisa berhenti.Huo Qu Bing :Pahlawan kesianganku. Terkadang enak menjadi sosokmu. Kau meraih Yu Er setelah Jiu Ye menyelesaikan semua bagian krisisnya. Kau berhutang banyak padanya kalau menurutku. Tapi aku juga tidak bisa membenci sosokmu yang tengil. Tipe bad Boy jatuh cinta yang sebenarnya selalu kupuja tapi maaf, kali ini aku memilih untuk kembali terjebak dalam second lead syndrome ku yang sudah mendarah daging.
review 2: I really like the book. As someone who is not that familiar with the power struggle during the era, I think it is fascinating on how the author managed to weave a such beautiful tale into the history recorded by the annals. This book makes me searched for Huo Qu Bing, a great general who died at a really young age.And while I do love Huo Qu Bing, I am in love with Meng Jiu too. Such sad, sad, sad, sad, young lad. *cries* While reading this book I imagine Hu Ge as both Meng Jiu (because of the stills from the drama, I think he potrayed the pain and longing quite well, despite my reservation about him not being Huo Qu Bing, which actually pissed the hell out of me. But if it his Hu Ge's choice, I think it primarily because the character is such a compelling character and I won't blame him to try potray the emotional depth of Meng Jiu. phew.) and Huo Qu Bing (Hu Ge as the general Feing Peng in Chinese Paladin 3) and Liu Shi Shi as the lady Jin Yu, Yu Jin, Yu Er, Xiao Yu or whatever you call her is).Political warfare aside, I find it really interesting that Tong Hua managed to explain (in her version of history) of why Huo Qu Bing did something that is weird for us to read when reading about the general, such as cuju in the middle of war, why he said he won't get married until the XiongNu eradicted, and so on.Personally this is the first time for me reading a chinese novel (one which actually features an actual person from Han dinasty) and I am hooked. I might as well start reading her other books too. ^^Recommended! less
