-the ending was absolutely phenomenal, and it made me interested in continuing the series, despite my earlier hesitations
-the combination of history(loose) in a sci-fi landscape
-the polyamorous relationship( though I hope it’s expanded more in future books
- the character walks the fine line between powerful and difficult, which I thought was crossed a few times
-the plot felt a bit convulsed at times, with many things going on
-there was a bit of a lull in the middle before the final battle
All In all I do think this would appeal to fantasy lovers, and I would recommend picking it up if you are interested!

The book was inspired by a lot of real Chinese history and I loved feeling like I was learning while I read this amazing story. It inspired me to learn some more about real history in that region.
