A review by ipsita
The Imperial Uncle by Da Feng Gua Guo

2.0

I got pulled into it because of the title and the cover, it's just so pretty. And the first few chapters were actually going strong, I liked the author's narration so much. It was melancholy; and it portrayed how Prince Huai's character was like very well especially how flawed he was. The whole palace politics and circumstances were by far the most realistic I've ever seen. And the characters, ohmygod Yun Yu is my favourite, ofcourse. It's not your typical romance. You keep second guessing who the real ML is even to the end (my ship sank too). I think that was another reason I was able to finish this because I kinda got confused and lost interest halfway despite the book being so short. But the ending left me feeling bitter sweet cause I kept questioning if Prince Huai really loved the ML or not (the confession was so fast and forced for me)!

The translation was perfect, one of the reason I could finish it. Although this wasn't my cup of tea, I definitely liked the characters a lot. Really hoping Yun Yu got a happy ending of his own too, he deserves that.
