Nobody told me this book is so good. 👏🏻

I have to note here, or else I forget. I find the writing pleasant and intellectual, like any book about Cambridge professors is supposed to be. But at the same time, I find it quite emotionally dry.

Harry Styles made me read this

This is the 9th Wu Zhe's book that I've read, which makes him/her my most favorite author of mm romance.

A gay retelling of a western classic - the story of Wyatt Earp & Doc Holliday. Fascinating!

Reading it ahead of the release of Julie Bozza’s new book - Writ in Blood

Second effort of finishing this book. I left it at the 65% mark on first try. Can't believe I struggle to finish a Sarina Bowen's book.

This book is Voinov's swan song in the mm romance genre, as he said he was moving to mainstream sff after this. It's sad news for his loyal fan, and more reason for me to read it right after publication. I don't do this normally.

We jumped right into action from the first chapter. This is an epic fantasy with a gay MC, rather than a mm romance with fantasy elements. Which is exactly to my liking. I still wish for some romance to sweeten the plot. Don't need too much though. I'm having a feeling this book is leaning more to YA.

After a string of terrible, or at best mediocre, books, I somehow forgot the joy of reading good literature. You know, savoring every word and rejoicing in it. I've found it again here.

Now I know how much I hate having to skim ahead when reading bad books.

Loving it so far

Everything is great. Except for the romance thing, which is quite frustrating to me.

Jainan's behavior is very frustrating and tiresome. There must be a good explanation, and soon!

I love the attention to details in worldbuilding. It makes the world very vivid, very real.

I like it better than I initially thought.
