tylercrow's review against another edition

dark mysterious medium-paced

3.0

The low score is only because
Hua Cheng was de-aged for almost half the novel and I missed him actually being useful
, and it pissed me off so bad. ALSO,
the whole fucking scene where Xie Lian praises Eming to get it to grow larger... I was weirded the hell out.
.

The Crown Prince of Wuyong plot is finally in action. I don't remember how it plays out, so I'm (almost) as confused as a new reader!
 

This one did have some baller moments/quotes:
  • The red string! AA!
     
  • I really liked Pei Ming for some reason. I don't usually gaf about the background characters, but he grew on me... like a tumor.
  • I did actually start liking a lot of the side characters during this one. Besides Pei Ming, I started to like Ling Wen (they backstoried her), Yin Yu (they backstoried him), Qi Ying (idfk). I've always liked rain master so that's not new to me.
  • Xie Lian shoving a butcher knife in Qi Rong's teeth... amazing... so deserved... There should've been more threatening Xie Lian in this one but that's alright.
  • The "who is the daddy" plot has finally been solved. Jesus Christ it took forever.
  • "[...]. Sometimes, it's not up to you to decide is the road is easy to walk." then "I might not be able to decide if the road is easy, but whether I walk it is entirely up to me." Then! '[...]. He felt like a knot in his heart had been untied, [...]'    ..........Needless to say, I was throwing up.
  • "Do you think I would so easily allow you lot to touch my heart's dearest treasure?"
  • Christ! Yin Yu and Quan Yixhen's backstory! My hair fell out from the stress. Yikes man, yikes.

Finally, the best moment/quote this book was:
"It doesn't feel so bad to share a grave."

(Because of the implications...)
