This just jumps right back into the story from No Gods, No Monsters but with a 3 year time skip. We bounce around in time a lot in this one so no skimming. 
A great continuation of the story.

Dreamy, beautiful prose filled with magic and court-intrigue. I fell in love with Xingyin and her mother immediately. Their relationship is complicated but full of love like most mother-daughter relationships. 

The pacing was interesting, some parts felt really fast while other felt almost awkwardly slow. 

I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Xingyin and Liwei grow, as well as Wenzhi. The drama, the back and forth, the growth they had as people is very enjoyable to me and I wish more books had that. 

I am still very suspicious of Minister Wu and hope to figure out his deal in further books (I hope there's more coming).

I went into this blind, knowing nothing, and it was not the Appalachian monster horror I was expecting. 
Very good but the ending felt.... Almost anticlimactic.

Watching this come to life over the last few years has been an amazing experience. This is a fantastic and unique story that brought me to sad and happy tears multiple times.
