4.5

Yi City: 4⭐️
The flashback dragged on for so long and Xue Yang felt underwritten but at least he made Xiao Xingchen & A-Qing (the mvp!) interesting.

Golden Carp Tower: 5⭐️

The flashback scene here was also long but because Jin Guangyao is a fascinating character, it was enjoyable.

What he says can be considered normal to anyone else besides Nie Mienghe & Qin Su who knew him well enough to see the underlying meanings.

I love this quote which sums him up quite well…

“ As well as the new wound from the fall, he sported an older, bandaged injury that had been concealed by the black gauze cap he was wearing. Wounds both old and new had been torn open, so Jin Guangyao tugged off the bandage and dabbed it against his head, wiping away the fresh blood, so it would not stain his clothes.”

Also I love the trust Wangxian have in each other. Lan Wangji must’ve missed Wei Wuxian so much that he was willing to risk his reputation multiple times to be by his side 😭 And it was so cute to see how excited Wei Wuxian was when he saw Lan Wangji in the flashback hehe.

4.0

I definitely enjoyed this volume a lot more than the last because this is where the ball really gets rolling to me. Also I think the bulk of what I remember from MDZS as a whole came from this volume and a few things from the start of the next volume (which I started reading immediately after finishing this one). This book also has one of my favourite illustrations of the entire series of

Nie Mingjue kicking Jin Guanyao down the stairs. There's just something about how beautifully it's illustrated that gets me every time.

Some of my complaints are still the same as last time, however. Particularly in the case of one party that was properly introduced in this volume felt like they suddenly appeared in the story, which I think could have been alleviated with a list of the all the clans and their leaders.

Also a lot of the female characters end up getting the short end of the stick, which is an ongoing problem in this and some of MXTX's other works. And I also thought it was kind of comical that, as a paper doll, Wei Wuxian had plenty of time to experience Nie Mingjue's entire backstory when it was established if he didn't return to his body within a set amount of time there would be consequences.

I'm still in love with this series. There was no doubt that I would be, but I'm enjoying getting more into the mystery and watching it unfold. I especially love the story with the juniors, A-Qing, and Xiao Xingchen, heartbreaking though it may be. Someone once said that storyline is Shakespearean, and it is!

I can't get enough of WangXian, and seeing just how much more dense Wei Wuxian is to Lan Wangji's affections in the book than he was in the TV show, it's hilarious. I was talking to the book!

I can foresee by the cliffhanger and where this book stops that we're going to start book 3 with one of my favorite moments from the boys' teen years (I'm almost sure), and I'm ready! What a masterpiece!
