I feel like the arcs in this volume were surprisingly a lot more interesting than the previous 2, so I am super excited to continue to see what else happens!

I enjoyed reading Xie Lian’s past. It revealed so many interesting insights into the story. It was very well written. Truly gripping. Such a tragic and gruesome tale.

 I also found it sweet that Hua Cheng was still there in his youth. It was nice to see just how much Xie Lian had managed to influence and inspire him.

Also, cool to see the return of the fetus spirit from the first volume! What a throwback!

 

The new mysteries were fun too! Can’t wait to see how they unfold in the next volumes!

Xie Lian and Hua Cheng kissing was nice too! I wasn’t sure if I should mention it here since it could be spoilers. Well, it’s up to you to see this, if you’re curious

Well, this one starts with a flashback and to be honest Qi Rong might need three most annoying character so my enjoyment level when he was on page was low.  However, it picked up and we got some little nuggets to tie the past to the present and then we transitioned to the present timeline.

The first section got quite dreary and dark and Xie Lian had a lot of growing as a new god.  That juxtaposed with the second half of the book that was quite comedic and humorous to the point it was close to slapstick was a little jarring but very effective in defining the massive character change that Xie Lian had gone through in his 800+ years.

I'm thoroughly enjoying myself and will shortly be reading the next installment.
