I’m perplexed by this book. On one hand the imagery and the attention to detail is stunning and really pulls you in... so that feels like 5 stars to me. On the other hand, there is a weird stepbrother/stepsister romance which doesn’t feel fully thought out. In addition to that, about 3/4 through the book things get really weird and suddenly there are two killers for two different and unrelated reasons. It didn’t feel fully planned out or organized well. I also did care for the end of the book where suddenly people were dying frequently and it didn’t seem to have a purpose.

I almost wish the writing in this book was less vivid and engaging, it would have made the book a solid 2/3 stars. But the detail and history was really beautiful.

Surprisingly, I loved the romance in this book. And the world was so rich and magical!

I feel like I would have really liked this book without the unnecessary and creepy AF Bro/Sis romance. I liked the world and the characters, especially in the Ren half but it just got weird. Like the fantasy was fine but whyyyy write that in?

temporary rating! might change (and also might write a review) once i think about it more. overall, i enjoyed it a lot! the narrator's voice in yangsze choo's books really appeals to me, though it might not suit everyone. and i really love how much of choo's stories are inspired by or revolves around folklores.
