The story was quite captivating and I found myself caring for the characters along the way, most definitely. Everything from the description of clothing to instruments and even weapons aided greatly in the world building, which was quite rich.
The only qualm I have is with the pacing. For the moments of heightened action, I felt like the scenes were rushed or too quickly finished. Still, the pacing was not so much a distraction/deterrent to my enjoyment of the story.
Excited to finish the series; will probably
invest in the US cover of the book, too!
Moderate: Injury/Injury detail

I freaking loved this, and I'm def gonna read the next book. It is longer than most books I have read, and I think without the audio, I would've struggled getting through some parts (a lot of the building, slower parts). But it was enjoyable all the way through. No spoilers, but my heart hurts a little at all that transpired with Xingyin's personal connections. I loved seeing her grow and all the things she had to do. A great mix of supernatural, fantasy, adventure, and love.
The cover art is also beautiful.
