Welcome to Litsy!

I'm still finding myself a little lost at times; there's so many similar names, and I feel like I need to draw a dang family tree including everyone's birth names and courtesy names.

Still, I know I'll get the hang of it as the story goes on, so I'm trying not to sweat the details.

I really liked the Yi City story in the end, even if it's tragic.

My heart is a little crushed by the story of Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan. Oof.

The chapters in this volume are SO long, though, goodness.

I should probably sit down and just binge this one, because that's usually the best way for me to get a handle on all the characters (and their courtesy names vs other names, their clans, their sects, and all the other info that shapes how they relate to each other). Also my wife's started vol 1 and is thus raaaapidly catching up to me.

This is book 2 in this series and I'm loving the world building and the lore. The translator has done a wonderful job translating from Chinese to English. Very lyrically done. Wei Wuxian is a character I've come to greatly like.
