I've never listened to an audio drama quite like Temujin, and I mean that in the best possible way. This is EXTREMELY well-executed historical drama, potentially overwhelming in its sweeping scope, but so deeply anchored in the personal relationships between its leads that you never get lost. It's classic yet immediate, informative yet emotionally gripping, sprawling yet intimate, tragic and brutal but filled with warmth and love and humor. I love the five act structure and the way the writing starts intimate, expands out and adds layers and layers of conflict and obstacle and growth, and then brings you back to where you started, where you always knew you'd end up: with these two men who shaped each others' lives for better and worse, in a perfectly built confrontation that was destined to happen but is uniquely surprising, rich with subtext, and holding deep, lived in, personal stakes.
