What. A. Book.
It is angry girl hours everyone. This book is a masterclass in saying the quiet part out loud: Love is not a finite resource. A system that hates women also hates men.The system is literally rigged and we should talk about it. Also you don't owe anything to people who don't respect you, even if "they're family".
I don't know how I'll be able to go back to other fantasy worlds when this one was so intricate. I don't know how I'll go back to other romantic subplots when this one is so much of what I have always wanted from a romantic subplot.
I at first had a hard time getting along with Xetian but it was just a classic case of relating to the point of disliking the parts of her that I see in myself.
Rong Fu truly brought this text to life with her reading. It was emotional, blunt, and engaging at all the right parts.
This book has quickly become one of my all time favorites.
