4.0

Slow burn romance, liebenswerte und interessante Charaktere, ikonischer Humor, frisches und neues fantasy Setting
Gründe warum es keine 5 Sterne sind:
- Plot hatte Stellen die ruhig hätten kürzer sein können
- Die Namen, damit mein ich nicht das sie chinesisch sind, sondern eigene Götter haben mehrere Namen da verliert man hin und wieder den Überblick 
- Man merkt dem Buch an das es ein Mehrteiloges Werk ist, was das Ende so plötzlich macht und die Geschichte selbst damit unrund.

Alles im Allen ein guter Auftakt für eine tolle Lovestory die so wunderbar nebenbei passiert und sich Zeit lässt. Mein Highlight war allerdings der Humor, der mich teils laut zum lachen gebracht hat.

This might just be my new favourite series. I don't even know anymore how often I've read/watched the first 1-2 novels in (almost) all its available formats - many, many times. Xie Lian is, without any doubt, my favourite protagonist of all time. He's funny, clever, down-to-Earth, competent, and so many things more. And: He's one of the few immortal protagonists I've met where I can believe without a doubt that yes, he really is centuries old and not just another teen with an absurdly high age for ~flAvoUr~. 
The plot starts kind of slow and appears disjointed, but I promise it will all fall into place in later novels and all of the characters are reoccurring. It just takes a long time (hence the small star deduction). 
Side note: The glossary at the end of the Seven Seas edition is a godsend for Western readers, but I promise all the names and concept also get easier fairly quickly.
