the more i read, the more i was consumed and enthralled by this quest for not just greatness but belonging, and fulfilling of destiny for not just chongba but ouyang as well. watching both their stories unfurl and intertwine was thrilling at many points, and kept me hooked despite the long chapters! looking forward to the next book in this duology.
