Gosh, I went through a rollercoaster of emotions here. I had so much fun reading this, I really couldn't put it down. I thought the story was paced well, and the romance believable (and made me blush, excuse me). It's cute, really!! And informative for snake friends and anyone new to chinese drama (xianxia) type media and culture. 

I felt something missing---and maybe this is me not reading enough YA (?), or me not reading more fantastical stories like this in general. The writing was easy to understand but didn't leave room for me to think.

Me, a silly goose: because it's a story, not a character study.

Anyway, this was refreshing and a timely pick-me-up for me, personally. And I just...adore the leads (personal bias). They were soulmates!
