Dark fantasy, I didn't love the antihero plot. But the world building was good.

A well written, albeit sometimes drawn out, story about an anti-heroine's rise to power. It was interesting to read from a different point of view and the descent/acceptance into the darkness within.

Xifeng’s descent into madness/evil

 is almost there. The back and forth between love and respect and abuse that Xifeng feels is often visceral. I really enjoyed the plot and didn’t catch of the turns coming at me.
