Did I understand most of the plot? No. Did I care about the plot? No. Did I like the writing style? No. But dear god, I loved Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian. Their dynamic is everything.
I’ll probably continue this series because those two certainly got to me. There were scenes I adored in this book, like the flashback chapter, and I hope there will be more for me to love in the next books. (and i should actually look at the glossary more instead of going “eeeh i’ll figure it out. i did, in fact,  not figure it out)

Very fun! This book was recommended to me by a close friend and I’m glad I actually took the recommendation (I often don’t get around to things that have been recommended to me). It was much better than I expected, I started out not liking the casual writing style that much but it really grew on me throughout the book. It’s definitely a slow burn but I’m obsessed with them and can’t wait for my library hold to come through on the second book!

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.

The characters both main and side are just as great as ever. Though upon several rereads the plot doesn’t hold up as much.
