The dynamic between Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji is hard to describe of only because you don't know the whole history they have yet, nor where it will go in the future. So far, one is basically a class clown/jock type while the other is a stoic nerd type and I'm having a great time with it.

It could be a cultural thing? It could also be a translation issue? I am not Chinese nor have I read a lot of Chinese novels so I can't comment on that. Either way, despite my issues I still looked forward to reading every day, so I'm still going to give it a 3 star. The plot and characters were interesting enough, I found the romance lacking but I am hoping it's just very slow burn and the next book will have more of it. Yes, I am intrigued enough to continue with the second book!
Additionally, the cover is beautiful and the art inside enhances the story in a nice way, I have stopped many times just to look at all the pieces again.
