Ouyang is the star of this book. He is my favorite character and I love him and his internal thoughts and was rooting for him the whole time. Team Ouyang 😂

Zhu was a great character. She’s smart and can hold her own. I also love her and Ma together. Their final scene in this book made me want to cry! I also love Xu Da. He’s just a very fun character who is loyal to the end. 

I must say, when I read the content warning for sexual content, I wasn’t expecting what we got on page. If you know, you know. Good for them!

I’m looking forward to the conclusion of this series! I can’t wait to see who comes out on top.
