I am really enjoying this series! But this book suffered heavy from middle book syndrome. The backstory could have been a book all on its own because there was so much of it! Parts of the backstory were very interesting, but some were unsettling and I am pretending doesn’t exist.
This one also seemed to not flow as well as the other two books. The others had so many plot-lines, but they’d all come together in the end and tie everything together. This one didn’t really do that. Every plot-line was its own thing and none of them were really resolved.
Either way, I need more Hua Cheng and Xie Lian interactions in future books. They make this series and are such a joy to read about!
