Lots of good themes in this, but it was a slooooow read for me.

Lost interest. Was interesting at first, learning of Chinese culture but not enough happened to keep my interest. Read it at night at Morton lake while camping.

Final rating: 4.5/5 stars

Not normally the kind of book I read, but the description drew me in and I'm really glad it did!! While not sapphic (we can only wish), the relationship between Yunxian and Meiling is beautifully written. I definitely recommend, even to those (like me) who normally aren't fans of historical fiction.
