Struggled to enjoy the characters but the writing and world building was fantastic. Would like to read more from this author with a different story.

The story of Fu Shen and Yan Xiaohan is a gorgeous, sweeping epic across time and location. Political intrigue and mysterious happenings in court move the story along at a good pace, keeping the characters limited as to keep investment from readers into the story.
