seeing things unfold is super exciting but it feels like there’s not a whole lot of the book left and i know it’s the last book in the duology so i’m intrigued to see how it wraps up

Poirot is Poiroting and it’s so nice

EPISODE TWO????????

hey quan millz this ain’t cool you can’t just make the font blurry all of a sudden

misclicked i didn’t actually finish the book yet but wow

i’m gonna cry why is it actually making me emotionally attached

oh my god my heart hurts for myyah

it’s so peak already

The immersion and overall plot feels so much better than the first book

So far the immersion into the world is somehow better than the first book

oooooh second murder and poirot shows up i’m so excited

Super interesting to see things start to intersect a bit!

Another on my hospice center volunteering saga. It’s pretty interesting so far; quite a lot has happened, and I’m curious as to how all the subplots are going to be handled. They’re about to connect soon, I think.

As usual the ending comes rather abruptly and the real murderer comes out immediately, but it’s a good read nevertheless

Lot of interest points but also a lot of parts that are extremely short because it is just common sense

Lot of focus on matchmaking with Lucy and the other men now

Oh my god there’s a new sideplot hello???

It’s starting to grow on me more, I just thought it would have more political intrigue. Then again, I haven’t read Romance of Three Kingdoms, which is what this book is based on, so I wouldn’t know.

I get that there’s a disclaimer saying it’s not based on Chinese myth… but everything is so close to your typical Chinese story with the sole exception of female-dominated political roles and the naming conventions that it drives me a little nuts. The mid-story twist was crazy work.

They found the body! What a way to set that up

So far, the names are throwing me for a loop because there’s a lot and it’s not the traditional Chinese names, but it’s pretty interesting so far

An abrupt ending and a whole lot of focus on men, but it was a nice read with some interesting themes.

So far it’s super interesting!

People are dying and things are heating up in the imperial palace but oh my godddd how are things going to end like this

This reminds me of A Daughter’s A Daughter even more, with shitty lovers and rebounds. A bit more dramatic here. Llewellyn’s POV is a strange shift. It’s way more dialogue heavy but with a lot of philosophy more than anything.

The first part was so heartbreaking? I think it hit somewhat close to home, though my experience wasn’t nearly as drastic. Still, the sentiments seeps through the words in a way that surprised me. I’m eager to read more. There’s a clear set up in the beginning of the first half, and it seems as though it’s following the same pattern as the storyline for A Daughter’s A Daughter by the same author.

Took a break to focus on studies, and coming back felt like a breath of fresh air. I wish there was more on Qi Zhuyin’s POV, but alas

wow they really just threw the romance at you like a brick going 70 mph. but their letters are heartbreaking. doomed yuri ftw

same general format but now there’s the slightest difference in the closeness of their interactions, but i like how it feels sort of monumental in the way that just their presences are slightly more tangible to each other feels like a relatively big shift
