Will do! I found a copy of the first book on Amazon. I’m going to order it and will report back once I’ve had the chance to work through some of it.

Oh, the names are the usual transliterated stuff that I find so annoying, especially for really long names, I just ending up skipping them, meaning that I can’t pronounce their names, but still recognise them visually. 🙂 I can’t vouch for the quality of translation to simplified, but the traditional versions are quite good. I’m halfway through Fires of Heaven now, but haven’t read for a few months, been reading other things. If you find the simplified version, do share your experience!

I have them in a couple languages, but I’d love to get them in Mandarin. I’m going to try to look for the simplified versions of the books here in the US. I’m curious to know what some of the characters Chinese names are!
