This seems (maybe) better written than 天涯客 Faraway Wanderers, though I'm not sure. priest seems to have a problem with not writting proper endings, but here it's more understandable and less bad than in 天涯客 since it's a prequel to that novel. Beiyuan and Wu Xi were my favourite side characters in 天涯客 so I like this book but I again feel like priest comes up with wonderful characters but doesn't work on executing them properly, in a way that would be emotionally fulfilling and satisfying.
