The Art of Destiny
The Art of Destiny: A Novel | Wesley Chu
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A hero once believed to be the chosen one must find a new path with the help of a band of unlikely allies in the sequel to The Art of Prophecy, an epic fantasy ode to martial arts and magic from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Wesley Chu. Once there was a prophecy that a chosen one would rise to defeat the Eternal Khan, an immortal god-king. But the prophecy was wrong. Now Jian, the former chosen hero, is just an ordinary young man trying to find his own way. But he may yet have an extraordinary destiny, because he joins forces with Taishi, his grumpy grandmaster, who instructs him in the ways of her familys powerful war art. Jian still has a long way to go before he can become her heir, so she recruits a band of elderly grandmasters who come out of retirement to whip him into shape and help with this one last job. And there are others who are also seeking their own destiny, like Qisami, an assassin on a secret mission to protect a powerful noblewoman from her enemies. But as Qisami goes undercover to complete her mission, she takes on a new identity that gives her something she never had before: friendship, found family, and new purpose. Sali also thought her fate was laid before her. She was supposed to be looking for the next Eternal Khan and now finds her clan exiled from everything shes ever known. As she leads the survivors in search of a new home, Sali discovers that shes something she never thought she could be: a leader and a revolutionary. Because sometimes destiny is grander than any prophecy can foresee. And the greatest destiny of all is the one you choose for yourself.

Finished earlier this week.

It was just as good as the first book in the War Arts Series.

Spoiler free content summary: The young heroes keep on bumbling about on their way to glory, while the old masters fart about and definitely know better.

Like in a Chinese martial arts film, the fight scenes are epic and beautifully choreographed.

julesG @TheSpineView You're right. It feels like despoiling, especially since the pages still stick together in some places. 2y
