This book was AMAZING. The writing style is so beautiful and the pictures Gong paints of 1920s Shanghai is stunning. I loved the mystery of who and what the monster was. I totally called it and was very excited to be right. The last 3/4 of this book was an emotional rollercoaster, I almost cried, and I need the second book ASAP.
