The first 50% was soooo goood. The plot was more solid than the prev book. Action packed and straight forward. In prefect composition.
The characters' dynamic is, like usual, top notch. I treasured Seryu and Shiori banters so much. AND KIKI.
Would like to give Mrs. Elizabeth Lim applause for the world building. The range of Shiori's journey in this book was even bigger. The places were all very atmospheric. Rich details, ornaments, colours, and vibes. (My fav was Ai'long, Seryu's homeland)
Bushi'an Takkan is a walking green flag. I love how he got to get closer to all of Shiori's brothers. THE SIBLINGS DYNAMIC ARE EVEN BETTER. The characters were all precious.
Unfortunately, the actions or storyline for the other end was a bit too tight. We werent give any chance to take a breath. And considering the struggle and fights, Shiori was senselessly strong(?) They weren't given some spaces to tend themselves. From one adventure to another directly. The problems are too many to solve at a short time. The composition's a bit off.
And the problem solving in the end was bittersweet.
However, I still enjoy it👌 Will read Spin of the Dawn and Unravel the Dusk after this💃
