I don't really need to keep gushing over this series... but I'm going to keep gushing over this series! As I expected from the end of Book 2, we made it to one of my favorite scenes in Book 3, and it came with an illustration!

The Untamed pulled from this book almost scene for scene with a few moments left out that pleasantly surprised me. I'm actually shocked that the show added more to the Lotus Pier battle, because that scene on screen made me cry. I'm actually glad they added it, though. 

And oddly enough, it took me this book to understand why Wangji said he wanted to bring a man back to Cloud Recesses and hide him there. Somehow, I missed the context in the story about his parents. I'll have to rewatch the show to see if Lan Xichen went as in-depth with telling Wei Wuxian about it. Woe is me. 

Again, brilliantly translated, wonderful storytelling, and by the way it ended, I know heartbreak is coming for me in Book 4. I can't wait!
