I’ve held on to a copy of this book for a very long time, and I think that is somewhat reflected in my view of it. 

I enjoyed the blend of Chinese/Japanese elements in the story, but the world building and spirit-magic just felt a little off to me. In addition, I’m normally not one to guess the twist or ending of a book, but this was so obvious that even I figured it out. And that just made me so infuriated with our MC because of how long it took her to even consider the possibility. That classic MC brooding alone over her failures and inabilities really just kind of lessened my interest in the story.

I would say I enjoyed the story overall, and I will read the second one. Just maybe not right away!
