If I could rate this 6 stars I would. 

I am currently experiencing conflicting emotions, I am sad at having to part with these characters, but I am also elated to have experienced the story and met the characters. Once again Mu Su Li leaves me with an extremely satisfying immersive experience. I felt it all, I cried, I laughed, I felt the distress, I felt the anger and I felt the joy expressed within these pages. Mu Su Li has a beautiful way of writing which evokes deep feelings in the reader. 

Every character played a role be it minute or grandiose, every intricate detail that tied up to the big mystery at the end was just chef's kiss. The side characters did not just exist for the main characters, they had their own problems, their own personalities and were all so likeable. The main characters as always did not disappoint, from their banter, to the tiniest interaction between each other was sublime and enjoyable. 
(The court scenes were too badass)

I could keep gushing about the beautiful writing and great characters or you could read it and find out just how amazing a book this is. I tried really hard to read this as slowly as possible a d yet the end came too soon. (Sob) 

I have to offer praise to the translator for such wonderful work on this project.
