This book was a lot, to be honest. I admit, I heard things about it and my curiosity would not let me pass the opportunity to read it.
So. While it is a Xianxia novel, I was a bit worried about the idea that most of the intrigue seemed to revolve around the main character’s appearance. However, I was actually quite surprised to find myself enjoying the deep complexity of the relationship between some characters and had to put down the book to calm down between chapters.
However, I have to say that while the majority of the plot and intrigue are more than well thought, some moments in the novel lead to confusion. I also have to mention that there is some very uncomfortable topics being explored in this novel and if you’re not comfortable with this, then I really suggest you try to read something more lighthearted.
