I really enjoyed reading this book, and there were so many plot twists that I never expected. 

It was so interesting to see how the army was manipulating everyone. I never expected Xiuying or sima yi to betray zietan. The ending was so unexpected. Some part of me thinks that zietan, shimon and yizhi’s actions are wrong, but also it’s a fantasy book and everything goes.
