i really liked the descriptions of setting and the battle scenes however, i was mildly annoyed with Xingyin's actions especially in the first 2/3rds of the book. the writing felt very ya at some parts.

Absolutely adored this and will be starting the second book rjght away. Xingyin is on of my favourite protagonists I've ever read and I love everything about her character; I was never once annoued with her, what a breath of fresh air. The romantic plot lines were well done and I enjoyed them, cannot wait to see how that turns out. I'm vaguely familiar with the legend this story is based on, but everything is explained well enough that I was not confused.

I liked it a lot more than I expected. When it comes to legend retellings there have been many books that couldn't catch my interest. They would drag on. That is definitely not what happened here. It was fast paced with a lot happening. I was intrigued by the characters, although I had a hard time fully understanding the motives and actions of the main character sometimes. The book managed to hook me quite easily and I ended up devouring it quickly.

Excellent, creative fantasy romance. I felt a little distanced from the main character (I feel like we never really get to know her beyond the surface level, despite being in her head for the whole book) but I still liked her. Very much looking forward to the sequel, and I appreciate that the first book still ended in a satisfying way and not on a cliffhanger!

The sexual assault is attempted, not completed, and alluded to vaguely.
