The plot twist(s) gave me whiplash. Maybe it's because I came in expecting everything to turn out to be supernatural in the end, or at least for the book to focus on a scientific explanation for the actually-real supernatural event, but the reveal that it was drugs all along was so anticlimactic that it ruined the rest of the book for me. I actually loved the first 2/3s of the book and the historical bits with the characterization between General Li and Bai Wenxuan, but not much else. Disappointed.

Interesting. Mildly racist or xenophobic in making the tribe kinda simplistic war mongerers but what do i know about intra asian racism. Very few women and very stereotyped. Decent horror. More mystery and gore than anything else. The chapter thirty seven and onwards explain everything if you just want to know the plot.
It's got a terrible portrayal of psychiatric institions. Also made up mental illnesses.
Also oh yeah it's pretty bad copaganda.
Lastly it's competently written but uh, not the best. Very show, don't tell, pretty superficial.
