bookdragonism 's review for:
The Emperor and the Endless Palace
by Justinian Huang
for a book supposedly about an epic love story that spans many lives and thousands of years, the romance was quite lackluster. sure, there's a lot of smut, but i was disappointed that the buildup of the romance between the emperor and his supposed beloved was so FLAT. their interactions were so shallow that i greatly doubted their so called "true feeling" for each other. i wish we had more interesting dialogues between the leads to flesh out their relationship even further.
aside from that glaring issue, i still enjoyed how unpredictable it was. though the writing can be quite....cringe at times. the plot was also interesting. i really just wanted more from the characters and their relationships with each other. the author didn't quite nail that aspect, which is truly a shame.
