If I could give this book more than five stars I would! It is beautifully written and paced, the adventure and fantasy elements are well laid out and interesting, the characters are complex and draw you in. I’m so dedicated to this adventure and cannot wait to start book two!

I wish I could read this in the original Chinese because the translation leaves a lot to be desired. There doesn’t seem to have been any effort made to make the translation enjoyable to read. That on top of cardboard flat characters made for a pretty bad read.

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!

Mo Ran is a moron and Chu Wanning is probably one of the most tragic characters I have read. Half the time, I don't know whether to laugh or cry and I love it so much. 

It is dark though, so if you have trouble with certain topics, heed the trigger warnings list.
