Shelley Parker-Chan is a masterful storyteller! This book had me losing my mind at several points. I was a little nervous approaching the end that I would hate the ending, but they pulled everything together in a very satisfying way. Anyways, Ma Xiuying supremacy!!

This duology is so wonderful. 
Everyone in this book needs hot chocolate and a weighted blanket. I wish there had been a chance for more characters to heal and find happiness.

If there had been slightly fewer moments meriting a content warning it would've been 5 stars for me, so maybe it will be for you. But yeah - I think it ticked more content warnings than it didn't, so, at your own risk.

I enjoyed this better than the first book and definitely was more interested in the characters. But, still, I just didn't feel super attached. I enjoyed the retelling of the Ming dynasty's creation and how it was queered.
