I am writing this without read the extras, so my thoughts maybe will change.

How I can describe this story? Weird possibly is the word for me... because that's how I felt reading the whole story, but not in a bad way of weird ... more like a ´ wtf is going on? This is so cool´ form of weird.

If i need to be honest even when i understood all the story I felt like I was losing something, perhaps was the translation that I read (I am not complaining ... thanks for the translation) or maybe was me that had the mind in the clouds.

I really like the story, was fun to read, specially was new to read for me, I really enjoyed read about Shen qingqiu and all his complaining, I enjoyed so many characters ... Liu Qingge was so far one of my favorites.

Luo Binghe was adorable but excuse me my Spanish Como me sacaba de quicio este pana... but i love him.

I would have love that the author explore more the relationship between Luo Binghe and Shen Qingqiu (romantically talking) because i felt (maybe again ...I was lost in translation) that the development was so fast (specially the development in Sqq).

The CHANGE between the female characters in the main story and in the Sqq story was so BIG and cool ... 1point for that

This book... how i can describe this book without saying I loved the characters so much (not all the characters tho) but the majority of them warmed my heart through all the lecture...

Was indeed such a ride, so many emotions and some many thoughts, but some many injustices too, some many people would say that there were no bad people in the characters but i dont think so.

Following my ideas, i think that this is a book about Injustices, miscommunication and misunderstandings... this book really show us how the History is written by the winners and how people in power will do whatever they want just because they can and how people will do WHATEVER THINGS just to get that power.

Of course this is a book about love (and sacrifice) the main couple is just something else, sometimes i was screaming of love and another time i was calling them idiots (they were) but they loved each other since the beginning ... i just get along with the pretty well i really like them so much. The last phrases of the novel (the main novel and the extras) were so pretty, like look at this last phrase of the extras... isn't it cute?

Tens of thousands of words were left unspoken, in exchange for endless laughter and hugs.

They loved each other so much

This book really ended in my Top 10 of books

a relecture in the future? OF COURSE YES i have the feeling that this novel (and TGCF too) is better after a very good relectures.

Notes: i have my opinions about some fetishisms showed especially in the extras but i feel like that topic doesnt ruin the novel and is a fetishism after all (i didnt like it but every couple with their things i guess)

I'm going to be honest, since I started this book twice i thought (at a point of my lecture) that I ruined the book by myself, but that thought went away the next day when i found myself nervous at the things going on the story.

I thought that I did not like the final until the last few pages, the whole thing between Thetis and Patroclus was so good that I found myself crying at 1:am.

A happy ending… yes we can say that, was a good, and It was an ending that did the story justice.
