Il re - Saga Asiatica Vol. 4

Clavell's portrayal feels so authentic — I wonder if he drew from personal research or experiences. How did he decide what details to include?

His cunning and survival instincts are fascinating, but also morally questionable. I’m curious how others felt about his character arc.

The historical backdrop adds so much weight — I’d love to hear what others thought about how the setting influences characters’ choices.
