This is a whole ass saga. I love how vivid the writing is. If you’re familiar with historical C-dramas, the writing feels so similar to it that you can picture the entire book in your head playing out as a drama.

Enjoyed the writing style, but the characters weren't interesting, our main character was insanely good at everything with very little practice and the love triangle (arrow) situation was painful to read. Very disappointing.
