This is such a good book. Truly the perfect fantasy story that seamlessly weaves Chinese folklore and Tan's own ideas into beautiful, rich narratives. I'm so obsessed. I also really enjoyed the romance and the honesty of the mistakes made, the complex feelings, and the compassion given to each character. Both novels in the duology were interesting and gripping, but there was also so much hope and love ingrained in the stories and the characters that made reading it all the more engrossing and emotional.
