God how do I explain how much I absolutely adore this book? 

Let me start off by saying I have been hearing about this book for years and never picked it up. I heard about it on tumblr years ago and was like “that sounds cool”. But I never actually went looking for it, but in October I decided let’s try it. God am I so glad I did. 

This book is fantastic. I love Xie so much, he’s my fave character and Hua is also a fave but no one can beat Xie for me. He’s so lovable it’s crazy. 

For the plot of the book? Fantastic. This book felt very Demon Slayer/Supernatural to me. Going to fight ghosts/spirits and figure out bad guys? Gave me such nostalgia and feelings. It was absolutely fantastic and I loved the way the characters interact through the book. This book is absolutely a fave of 2022 and will probably be a fave forever. As will the rest of the series which I finished in like 2 days because I love this series so much. 

I am absolutely gonna recommend this series to anyone. It is fun, it’s got some mystery of who is doing what, what’s going down. It’s got such a cool magic system and it made me remember how much I love Chinese cultivation stories. It’s such an interesting genre and I’m so big lad I get to dive in to these beautiful stories by Mxtx. 

I don’t know how else to get people to read this book and series other than to yell that you should. So good!
