1 whole star for the breathtaking cover. Unfortunately, the story failed to get me engaged and hooked since the very beginning. It was all tell and not showing. I can't care with what Xue was thinking. The characters are boring and flat....
The world building is actually pretty cool. It has potential to be a well written one. The premise is promising but again, the execution didn't live up to its advertisement.
The second half to the end was actually pretty intriguing. It's unfortunate that the sudden many realms were underdeveloped. I prefer a more action packed pacing and a great character development arc.
And the romance dynamic was not there....
The writing's oke, the interlude was a nice touch ✨👌🏼
If you're into slow paced Chinese inspired fantasy, give this book a go.
Thankyou for the arc in exchange of honest review.
