The cultivation is something new for me but the execution of it and worldbuilding in the story are compelling. What is difficult to follow at times is the usage of multiple names for the same character, so it can be hard to keep up with who is who and who is related to who. This is generally not too big of an issue since the book contains a glossary with characters and unacquainted vocabulary and concepts.
The text itself, especially the spoken conversations, feel a bit stiff and unnatural for an English reader. I presume this to be a peculiarity of the Chinese language and how it gets translated. While it can be a bit jarring at times you get used to it fast that it doesn't take you out of the reading experience.

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.
