I really enjoyed the narrative style, most of the characters and pacing of this book. The story follows 2 characters though, and the second is considerably less compelling than the first. Although this offered perspectives that allow the reader to view the story in a more holistic way.

All I have to say is: Exquisite you were right! This book gagged me from beginning to end. I tested up so many times that I’ve lost count. I loved meeting each new character and the alternating POV’s was perfect. It really made me feel for the characters more, especially Ouyang. Zhu is a real one and I can’t wait to have He Who Drowned The World in my hands.
