Review: Loyalty and trust. - Volume 2 is an exciting continuation to the dramas of Vol. 1 of Iverson’s Three Kingdoms. We learn more about the main characters as the story of Three Kingdoms reveals new dimensions of their impact on all the events that are about to happen. Again, the story flowed with one exciting happening after another. One reads about how the human nature of individuals can exceed our imaginations as one marvelous, unforeseen event after another comes to happen. It was amazing to read of the advice of Advisor Zhuge Liang to foresee and plan one new adventure after another to create happenings that reveal what a practical imagination can achieve. Loyalty and trust have new meaning to any reader of this book.
Review: Insight into life today - Vol. 2 of 3K touched me in a special way. Vol. 1 was a good appetizer. Vol. 2 is the main course. I enjoyed It especially because it gave me insights into people who I experience in daily life. Liu Bei got his vision of who he was from being a descendant of political leaders. His work experience was only as a maker of straw sandals, but his vision of who he is, is based on his ancestors. To him, this qualified him to be the Emperor of China. We all know that character traits can genetically be passed from one generation to another. Often character traits skip a generation and appear in a second or third generation person. His inheritance opened the doorway to a place of possible political leadership. Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei's senior Advisor, is the ultimate networker. The fact that he was a person of wisdom enabled him to come up with ideas and schemes. With these qualities he was able, through networking, to be able to overcome great challenges. He was not wealthy nor did he carry a weapon other than his ability to wisely advise. Amazing. Liu Bei's ultimate challenger, his nemesis, was Cao Cao whose ability was to charge forward with great energy in an aggressive way. Often he seems ruthless in his efforts, but this is the way of the person who obsessively charges onward to achieve his goals. Sun Quan seems like a person who finds himself promoted into a position that is really beyond his skills and talents. He relies on advisors and skillful supporters to maintain his position. It is easy to relate these main characters in Three Kingdom to people we meet and deal with today. This book gives me insight into dealing with people I deal with in everyday life. This version of Three Kingdoms was an easy read. All the Chinese names and places quickly began to confuse me however the list of main characters and who they were listed at the front of the book was a big help in getting through the exciting events written in this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read, wonderful character development and intrigue.
*by E***D on June 21, 2015*

A new character was introduced at the conclusion of volume 1 who was to play a critical role in this epic adventure. Serendipity comes to Liu Bei in volume 2 as the new character becomes his advisor. The new character leads Liu Bei to military success over Cao Cao’s forces with clever winning strategies. However, the twist in the plot a few pages later reveals the perils of deceit and cunning to which Cao Cao is capable. Incidents like this seem to mirror real life today; what seems like bad luck actually becomes good luck. In this situation the loss of his wise advisor opens an opportunity for Liu Bei. The advisor, as he is leaving, makes a recommendation to Liu Bei that will change the dynamics of all that has come before. We gather from the sequence of events to follow a whole new range of exciting strategies and episodes, filled with surprises.
