The dynamic between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji is hard to describe of only because you don't know the whole history they have yet, nor where it will go in the future. So far, one is basically a class clown/jock type while the other is a stoic nerd type and I'm having a great time with it.

This is the first book of five and I loved it. The characters are well rounded, and even the more antagonistic characters are enjoyable. For a story with many dark twists and turns, it is suprisingly lighthearted and funny. The only reason I didn't give this book a 5 star rating is simply that the first chapter was not very enjoyable to read and I almost gave up on the book very early because of it. However once that smaller part of the larger story was finished the book picked up pace and it was very hard to put down. A definite recommend, cannot wait to read the next book.

This time, I read the english version, and all the griefs I had with editing and language levels are gone !
It is indeed a difficult story to review when you don't have the whole story. I must say it is even more enjoyable when you know the rest of the story ! The rereading possibility is a real strength of this volume : it really makes for two very different experiences. The first reading had me discovering the world, the genre, and the realtions between characters, uncovering bit by bit as the story progresses, just as Wei Wuxian rediscovered the world 13 years after his death. It was fun and enjoyable, but the second reading beared so much more emotionnal power !! Rereading passages with the knowledge I have now made the experience much more emotional and powerful. It was especially enjoyable and with the bigger picture in mind, I can say this story truely is part of my favorites stories ever.
When my friend recommended me the books, I was expecting a good romance. And indeed, it truely is, I love every bit of it, and the books are jam-packed with interesting scenes that flow very well. It is an very slow burn romance, but that's exactly what I like. But I wasn't expecting to be an overall exceptionnally good story. This is a narrative where flashbacks put a spotlight on parts of the story and history allowing a better understanding of the whole. The pace is solid and flows well, and there is so much to discover !
The more I read, the more I liked the two lead characters. If Wei Wuxian is -to me- absolutely unsufferable during his 15 years old flashback (as a 15 years old may be), I very much like his adult voice. And Lan Wangji's personnality and hidden intensity really on my heart.
Thoughts after the first reading :
Disclaimer : I read this tome for the first time in its translated French version, which has very poor editing and none of the picture. I am much happier with the english version.
As it is the first part of a larger story rather than a first volume (it has been translated as such), I'd rather review the story as a whole.
It is very interesting to me to read this genre, because as I don't have the codes for the genre, it feel like discovering high fantasy for the first time ! I am really enjoying the cultural discovery.
I can't wait to know more about the mysteries.
Last but not least, I really like the characters and the way their relationship begins to develop.
