From the beginning, Kwan's writing is vivid and immersive, sweeping you into bith the story and the world. I absolutely adored the various folklore creatures and how eery they were. They helped sink me into the story even more.

The journey is this story is more an adventurous one than a perilous one. But that didn't seem to hinder my enjoyment at all even though I typically like a more action packed plot. I think it helped that Sai was such an endearing and sweet protagonist that you couldn't help but empathize with. Having a soft, sunshine boy be the protagonist of a hetero love story plot line was actually really refreshing. 

One thing I would suggest is adding a content warning page. There was a couple pretty heavy themes to be blindsided by.
