I didn't read Emma, but I stumbled upon this a few days back.

I agree about the story being 'average' and generic. It portrays how a Turkic soceity back then in the 19th century and the remains of horse archery. Turks, being originally nomads, practices horse archery since ancient times, being known to the west during the Crusades.

But needlesly to say, that I was completely blown away by the beauty and detail of the art. I mean just look how freakingly well detailed the clothes they wear, not to mention the wood-arts. It's just simply amazing.

I eagerly await for the next chapter only to see the art, but the story is also a plus, but just seems shotaish to me, maybe it's Turkic culture. I wonder how will the author portrays Islamic culture as it is an inseperable part of the Turkic soceity back then.
