4.5

After all, a scar cut through water could return even smoothness, but a wound carved into a tree would forever remain.  

I think this quote pretty much sums up the pain that the author wrote about in this volume. As always, I devoured this book, the author really knows how to put me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't stop reading it even though some moments in it are so painful, I almost couldn't breathe. But I just had to know what happens next. This story to me is like a drug. It makes me smile, laugh, irritated, restless and  hurts me so much I could barely breathe...but still I want more. I want more of the husky and his white cat shizun. 

The author's writing is of course, chef's kisses. I was so enamored by her writing style, maybe that's why I couldn't get enough of her work. I physically couldn't wait for the next volume!

Okay time for the review with spoilers:

Chu Wanning's backstory wrecked me. It personally hit home. Especially this line:

"Maybe, once upon a time, he had hoped. Hoped that someone would reach down and help him up. But he'd waited once, and there had been no one. And second time, and still, no one. He had experienced disappointment after disappointment, and he'd gradually grown inured to it. By the time someone, finally, came to help him up, it no longer felt necessary; it only felt shameful."

People like me who are not used in asking for help or receiving help, this perfectly describes our innermost thoughts. To all the girls out there who once waited for their knight in shining armor and when no one came decided to be the knight themselves, you guys are doing great but I think it's time to let other people in to help us.
