You can really tell when the author has genuine love for the historical fantasy wuxia genre. This book is so grand that you can almost hear its own majestic background music. And of course I can't help but love characters who were given nothing in life but decide to take fate by its horns and carve their own path. I'm really excited to see how the characters will grow in the next book, especially Zhu.
