This is my first time reading such a story, and while not what I expected I definitely enjoyed turning each page. There are definitely adult themes in the story, it is maybe teenager friendly, but the story was otherwise engaging; rich in mythos, the story has the characters in a world that can easily confuse the reader if they are not somewhat familiar with the mythology. The romance itself seemed to fall a little flat, so I won't be grabbing the sequel, but that may be the norm for this series and simply doesn't jive with me.

Definitely an interesting and enjoyable read, I would recommend getting a physical copy of the book so you can enjoy the artwork within!

This book made me feel all sorts of emotions in every chapter. Like there’s a chapter when I was laughing so much my stomach began to hurt but then in the following chapter, my heart felt like it has been ripped out of my chest by a bear claw and I was left shocked to my core. There are also instances when I felt so confused in one chapter that I just wanted to get to the end of the entire book series so that I will know what actually happened between the two characters.

I loved how this book kept me at the edge of my seat as I the story between the husky and his white cat shizun unfolds. Also, I’d like to commend the writing of this author. It’s so descriptive  that I really felt like I was transported to the world of wuxia.

Still, there are themes in this book to look out for so please refer to the content warnings before reading this. It is still a good book, though and I can’t wait to read the next volume because the end chapter of this one left my gutted, out of breath and teary-eyed.

“And so the white cat knelt all night, never turning around.
And so the dumb dog stood all night, never once leaving.”

*whispering* Mo Ran, you idiot-

By the way, Chu Wanning is a bae. My new favorite martyr.

Oh, and the ending was freaking cruel. Anyway, thanks for the pain, I'm looking forward to the next volume.
