I really loved this book it reminds me of many different translated into English Chinese novels I have read this book is really good I enjoyed reading every minute I read it. I really liked the characters especially Xifeng I really liked her ambitiousness I do not know why people do not like her this is a retelling of the Evil Queen from Snow White after all. I really liked the story it was gripping and so very compelling I really liked all aspects from the Ancient China things to the Fantasy elements. So overall I really liked this book and will read the sequel soon.
