I really liked the writing style, the concept and the world presented, however it felt a bit rushed and underdeveloped, mostly with regards to the romance. I feel like with maybe 50 pages more it would have worked for me better, as the characters and relationships felt too surface-level for me to care. Still, a very enjoyable read of filial obedience and defiance, toxic love, manipulation, political intrigues and emotional strength.

Wow, I did not expect to be this underwhelmed. I loved the setting, would have liked to see more of it, but I didn't connect with the main character, nor her love interests, nor any character, really. I thought our main character was a wet rag, the political intrigue not that intriguing, the love not that fiery. All very meh for me, alas.

I wish the author would have gone into a bit more detail with Giang, but a beautiful story.
