Loved the overall plot, pacing, characters, and how they interacted with each other. Xingyin is such a wonderful character to follow and I fell in love with her boldness, tenacity, and sense of loyalty. The writing style is strong and engaging, but the plotting can be a little messy. It seems like there are scenes missing at times, like the text mentioned Xingyin fighting a Bone Demon, but that was never shown to us, which is a shame since it would be have been neat to see and would have possibly shown her interacting more with Wenzhi. I'm not a big fan of love triangles, and the one here is no exception, but at least it wasn't entirely grating. Curious to see where the sequel is going to take Xingyin next.
