Candle In The Tomb
Update 2nd February 2020: Have watched everything available on streaming that I have subscriptions to. It's a mixed bag. Links and reviews with the order (that I know) below. Still requesting kind strangers who have read the books to please help me put this into Chronological Order.
Research Results:
- There is the Daylight Entertainment TV Series, there's a Wanda Pictures: Mojin movie series and there's a China Film Group Corporation (CFGC) 2nd set of movies plus other random movies! Trying to place them in chronological order hurts my head. Some movies have the year it happens, others don't. There is wild inconsistency. The naming convention is also all over the place! This could easily be a Franchise if they do it right.
- List of Books. Not even sure if they're in chronological order. https://www.audible.com/series/Candle-in-the-Tomb-Audiobooks/B0765C27BP?ref=a_pd_Candle_c1_series_1&pf_rd_p=8a2752a8-601f-4465-b227-7e95d7917c27&pf_rd_r=JRWCVSA2HZ7AB0FBV6QT

Doesn't have the Mojin title, no clue if it's related or what it's about? Has a good director (Simon West). Maybe this will be good. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
