Reread this to get ready for reading Heavenly Tyrant (although I am currently like 33/34 in line at my local library to read that one rip) and it was still very fun 2nd time around bay bee.  Just very fun to read about a character who is unabashedly out for revenge.  I think the writing style was very fun to read. 

I also enjoy a good ot3!  I think the love between Shimin and Yizhi was really tender and sweet, which was unexpected.
