- Definitely a page-turner, I finished fast wanting to know what was coming next
- An epic historical fiction & drama with some fantasy & spiritual elements. Set in ancient China during Mongol rule & budding Han Chinese resistance against foreign rule & occupation
- All the deliciously dramatic elements of futile war, being haunted by ancestral ghosts, backstabbing your sworn brothers, corruption in Buddhism, and power struggles
- Such interesting representation of gender, transness and sexuality in ancient times, with a language and understanding so different from our time. Absolute gender fuckery
- Lesbian fisting scene A+
