This series is amazing as always although this one is the most heart wrenching one yet looking forward to reading more. The characters are great as always I still love Xie Lian and Hua Cheng they both are very layered characters and this time more is learnt about them both part of Xie Lian's past and part of why Hua Cheng will always be his most loyal believer. This volume has seen Xie Lian at his absolute lowest and his worst in this one the break down of his relationship with two that were very close to him and what caused his complete breakdown that nearly caused a calamity. The plot was really good it starts where it left off things are found out and the story goes into the past and tells of after the fall of his kingdom and everything and how that all ended did I mention I am looking forward to when the next volume comes out.
