Not my favorite read. Each chapter was a different perspective, which normally wouldn't be a problem, but when it is more than 2 different perspectives, it feels jumbled. ESPECIALLY when those perspectives are in different eras of time. I also felt like the author wanted to incorporate more Chinese lore into the story itself but ran out of pages to do so. It had a lot of potential but the execution was poor.
