I most skimmed the parts I read from the official translations in order to read the fan translation for what hasn't been released yet.

I do think the official translations streamlined and polished everything based on what I did read.

What can I even say about the story?  It's about love and hate.  It's about destiny.  It's about willpower.  It's about life and death.  It's about sacrifice.

It took me three months to read this book and it was worth every second that I fell behind on my reading goals. This book did exactly what I want books to do - tear me apart emotionally and then put me back together again. Every character is interesting and complex, the plot is well thought out and intricate, and the writing style was very enjoyable (although remember that this is a work in translation so obviously things get a bit complicated in that respect). I would definitely recommend this book <3
