5.0
turns out I'm horrifyingly bad at picking up a physical book. but rereading this vol has been thoroughly entertaining as always, even if picked it back up after months.
definitely saw a lot of parallels that I didn't pick up on my first read. once again I realized how mxs often leaves a lot unsaid, whether it's character motives, their thoughts or if they were really being honest etc., leaving them to be interpreted and analysed.
this is what makes the world feel so dynamic (well it is partly based on real history) and the story so rereadable, apart from yanshen being highly entertaining.
