Faraway Wanderers was a very fulfilling read. It's a story of two loners and their deepening bond as they travel together in a world of wuxia, romance, political plots, and perceived 'good' and 'evil'. The character development is wonderful and complex, making it easy to get carried away in their emotions. As with many wuxia novels, there are countless side characters, which you can easily loose track of, so a character sheet may come in useful! Some sections can be a little long-winded, but it's still a heart-warming and well-rounded novel.

A book that's difficult to move on from! Altogether, I've watched the Untamed drama plus Special Edition, and the Founder of Diabolism Donghua and the Chibi. The novel, however, brings everything together in a wonderful world of wuxia, villainous plots, slow-burn romance, and spicy escapades (maybe skip the Incense chapters if you want to avoid some more extreme scenes). The translation is great, with some informative and amusing footnotes from the translator. The fan comments available throughout also really add to the reading experience (though some do contain spoilers, so if you're new to the MDZS/Untamed universe be warned!). In short, it's the best book I've ever read. Now just to find the Audio Drama and the Manhwa!
