This review is for both installments as a whole.
Great coming of age story.
Youko is such a great protagonist.
Was a bit put off by how weak she was in the beginning but when her upbringing was revealed in the second book it gave much more dimension to her and was such a potent indictment of societal pressure on girls.
The character arc protagonist is extremely satisfying.
The China-esque mythological setting was well crafted, but not particularly interesting to me. The use of destiny and divine right to rule was well balanced with the protagonist's self doubt and character growth.
Can't wait to read more of the series.
I lowkey ship Youko and Raku-shun.
