It took me a second to get into this book. I had watched the miniseries first and the tone and overall plot of the book and show are so different. But I still really enjoyed the book. It's got a dreamlike quality to it that I really loved reading. I also liked the journey of Li Lan moving from being sheltered and wanting convention to wanting something more than her mortal life. I don't know, I had a good time (and the third act of the book is so different from the show that I could not put it down).
