Can’t say I didn’t *expect* the ending but it was lovely nonetheless. The sharp turn before it fell together was a bit of a surprise! The epilogue has my heart 💕

Absolutely gobbling this up.

“I don’t care about your fuckwit name” - Famine to ‘Victor’

Only 14 pages in & there’s already dual POV’s ?! Ok ok, I’m in.

3-4/5 - enjoyable but not enchanting. I feel like if I was 13-15 it would be a 5/5 but most of it felt relatively predictable. However the final event was a surprise and pleasantly sweet (win for feminism in historic-china-ish era).

Maybe the dragon was a one time thing? Anyway, back in it.

Things were getting interesting but now there’s a dragon? Suddenly, I’ve lost steam again.

Def intrigued. Still feeling a bit like OP’s Mirrorworld (Whole Cake arc) x Coraline, in a good way? Initially lacking momentum, but it’s picking up for sure.

“The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.”

I’ve predicted SOME of the twist(s), but it by no way takes away from the story. I cannot keep my nose out of this book. It’s driving me mad [in an enchanting way]!!

No spoilers. Just know: I’m SO invested. The enchanting beauty of the House knows no limits!

“A message from afar. Obscure writing. Innocence eroded.”

Ok, I wasn’t floored but I did enjoy the 3-4 big reveals and last twist of the book. TBD if I’ll aaactually keep reading. I almost feel content not knowing what happens next. Like a movie where they show “where are the now” photos. Idk.

Things started getting super action packed & interesting come 500 of 600 pages LOL. Admittedly, until now it felt like too much exposition/prep for a lot of nothing to happen tbh. But the events rn are jam packed & I’m suddenly invested. Not often to I read >100pg in a sitting.

PETTY SPOILER: It took this long for something cool and magical to happen with the quicksilver. I stand my ground on this book: interesting, but not invested at all.
