I loved the setting of this book. I used to be a big fan of urban fantasy but stopped reading them because they were all starting to look the same, so I was thrilled when I realized this was essentially urban fantasy with a Chinese bent. The writing and the plot weren't especially strong, but I still enjoyed the book more than I typically would because I'm happy to see parts of my culture in this sub-genre (and also I'm weak for pining).
