Plus that entire scene with Lan Wangji drunk was chef's kiss.

“Who was right, who was wrong, was there more gratitude or more grievance - is that something an outsider can determine?”
➽ I was surprised by how much I got invested in the secondary characters of this Arc! There's a long flashback scene about A-Qing, a young beggar girl who pretends to be blind because she was born with unnatural white eyes. Her paths cross with Xiao Xingchen, a famous travelling cultivator with a tragic past we learned about in the last book. He's actually blind and takes her under his wing. However, when a mysterious, sinister man turns up, things take a turn for the worst. I liked A-Qing, as she's brash and outspoken, but also street-smart from spending so much time on her own. She doesn't like this newcomer but has no idea how to get rid of him. The tension that was building was so good and everything tied into the main story as well!
➽ There were some other highlights such as the infamous Drunk Forehead Ribbon Scene! I love the balance between tragic, heartbreaking moments and hilarious scenes where Wei Wuxian does something outrageous again. The dynamic between Wei Wuxian and Lan Zhan is just SO good, I get why everyone is obsessed about them. The pining, the miscommunication and the opposites attract dynamic are just top-tier! While everyone is quick to demonize Wei Wuxian, Lan Zhan protects him and stands by his side, which becomes even clearer by the end of the book!
“Only in the presence of your fated person, in the presence of the one your heart belongs to, can you allow yourself to be free of restraint.”

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.

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!
