This book was very good and I loved it. Sometimes though, the translation seemed off and some sentences did seem to not make complete sense. But overall, I really liked reading it and after putting it off for half a month, I was right back and could follow along where I had left off.
I love MXTX's writing style, it does feel unique, though it looks like it is sometimes too much telling the story instead of showing it, but luckily it doesn't put me off. 
Loved reading this novel after waiting a long time!

The best thing about rereading mdzs is falling in love with all the characters all over again.

While this book did have issues, like using the word "crippled" on 1 page for example, I still really enjoyed reading it! 
I know that people have been saying the translation isn't great, but I think I'm just too dumb to pick up on that... I didn't have an issue with the translation and I thought it had quite fast, but again that might be because I'm just too dumb to pick up on any issues.

Also side note: Lan Wangji seems way less autistic coded in the book than in the live action series and I don't know how I feel about that... He definitely still feels autistic coded, but yeah just less. Kinda makes me sad because I was really hoping he would be even more autistic coded in the book.

Anyway Lan Wangji is autistic and Wei Wuxian has ADHD. Nobody can change my mind about it!

These books are a lot of fun upon rereading, after the flashbacks reveal more and more about the characters and their relationships and unique motivations. The mood whiplash between lighthearted to suddenly heart-wrenching emotional beats are super interesting, but also exhausting.

I read this book in four days cause my crush really wanted me to read this, and even though my crush is in vain I persevered, though this book made it so enjoyable.  I haven’t read a book that fast since high school (Divergent of all things).  This was very enjoyable, and while slow burn really gets to me because for the love of god y’all need to kiss already, I sqeed like a fan girl when the little tidbits of romance DID pop up.  I’m still mixing up characters because so many people have the same surname, but I’m getting there.
