Jade Fire Gold by June CL Tan
3.0
What I liked:
There is something hypnotizing about the story and writing during the first 75% that's why I sped through it. Even though it wasn't exactly fast-paced for me, it still kept me engaged and invested.
The characters seems flawed in their own way, but that's what made them charming in a way. I think the effect of their actions made the narrative stronger in a sense that it all melded together in the end.
What I didn't like:I guess the main reason I gave it 3 stars was because of everything being predictable. There weren't any notable shock-factors or plot twists that could have made the story even more enticing.
Some parts of the plot could have been improved, in my opinion. For example,
The ending too really put me off. I didn't like how it ended so that contributed further to the 3-star rating.

Spoiler
Ahn and Altan being fated lovers could have been improved if they were twins instead. Some parts would have made more sense if that were the case. I felt like it somehow started like that, then was quickly shifted to lovers.The ending too really put me off.
