They didn’t lie when they said it was gonna be even better than the first one. I had this book for a while now and I knew it was going to take me a bit to finish it, so I put it off for like 6 months but I’m so happy I finally read it. It is truly a masterpiece. It is impossible to guess what happens next, everything is so intricately planned out, even the last detail is perfect. The characters are so unique and interesting, I especially enjoyed Lady Zhang. The book is definitely for the faint of heart though. All in all it was a great experience 10/10 would recommend!
