I love Lan Wangji so much. He's so precious 🥺💜💜

Him saying

"Mine" to Wei Wuxian when he was drunk was so cute! I didn't think we'd get that so soon.

The fact that Wei Wuxian keeps joking around about liking men early in the volume and then later ends up with a man is just so much fun lol. He was so funny throughout most of the volume. 

If you don't want a slow burn with a LOT of plot, this isn't the series for you! I love what's going on though. There's so much. 

I only had a couple of issues with this first volume:
- Wei Wuxian drinks Emperor's Smile and says he never got to have it when he was younger but in the flashback, he did? Not a big deal, but it irked me a bit.
- Lan Wangji tells this long ass story explaining a lot about a specific incident. I would have much rather gotten that information spread out.

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!
