*primordial screaming* Oh this is that good shit! If you, like me, grew up on fanfic with is slow-burn, swerves, and utterly endearing character work, this book is for you! To top it all, it's so interesting reading about Chinese folklore and myth, and being exposed to a whole new writing style. Usually I favour a more pithy writing style, but this almost had the cadence of oral storytelling where the narrator loops back to topics to keep them in the audiences memory. It was genuinely fascinating and I loved, loved, loved it! I could honestly take a week off work, read the whole series and be having the best time!
