I really loved this book even with its at times confusing twists and turns I am looking forward to those companion novels to put the rest of the pieces together so it will all make sense. I really liked the characters especially Hesina and Akira she is one of those strong female characters that will do anything for what she believes I really like Akira for how mysterious he was throughout the story. I really liked the slowly developed romance between them she had feelings that she denied for awhile until the end I am hopeful that this will develop more. I really liked the plot of the story it started with Hesina and Caiyan going to somewhere forbidden to find out who murdered her father. The story pretty much unravels bit by bit with truths being uncovered it moves at really good pace. I like how this story does read a lot like a Chinese novel and it is so immersive I just got more interested the further I got into the story. So overall I really enjoyed reading this book I am really looking forward to those companion novels.
