I was lucky enough to get an early copy of the audiobook and I’m so glad I did - I loved this book and cannot wait for book two! I love when we meet multiple characters who we know are interconnected but don’t know how and this book absolutely delivered on that in the most satisfying way. I also loved the complex family dynamics showcased here. I also learned so much about Chinese culture and folklore without it feeling like a school lesson. The narrator on the audiobook also did fantastic! I listen at 2x speed and flew through this in less than 48 hours. Thank you for the early copy!
