The characters both main and side are just as great as ever. Though upon several rereads the plot doesn’t hold up as much.

This book was very good and I loved it. Sometimes though, the translation seemed off and some sentences did seem to not make complete sense. But overall, I really liked reading it and after putting it off for half a month, I was right back and could follow along where I had left off.
I love MXTX's writing style, it does feel unique, though it looks like it is sometimes too much telling the story instead of showing it, but luckily it doesn't put me off. 
Loved reading this novel after waiting a long time!

Pretty solid start for a series.  There's a huge cast of characters who have various forms of address so it can be difficult to keep track of everything in the beginning.

The dynamic between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji is hard to describe of only because you don't know the whole history they have yet, nor where it will go in the future.  So far, one is basically a class clown/jock type while the other is a stoic nerd type and I'm having a great time with it.
