I watch a lot of Wuxia and C-Drama, so the mythology and pantheon were very familiar and was easy for me to recognize and follow. Love Between Fairy and Devil felt like it was represented as part of the lore in this story, but also same vibes overall.
I'm a total sucker for gothics, this checked all my boxes. Tragedy, heartbreak, hope, reclamation, empowerment, and a soft close with loose ends tied to hope.
Xue is believably capable and heartening, Jinglang is not the typical brooding gothic interest (refreshing!), side characters are wonderfully complex albeit a little transparent at times, queerness is normalized and not shunned or forbidden, the magic is ethereal, the mystery and intrigue are multifaceted.
I was so excited to read this, and was not disappointed!
Thank you Netgalley for approving me for an ARC in return for an honest review!
