As this story begins with the death of the main character, I feel it is only right to use the first line of this book as the first line in my review in solidarity.
PSA: I AM BIASED. Iβm a huge fan of The Untamed and Mo Dao Zu Shi, the donghua. Iβve watched both nurmerous times now and I love this series with my whole heart. Now Iβve finally decided to read the novels.

I donβt have too much to say about this besides the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Wei Wuxian thinks himself a genius when itβs him whoβs dense. Itβs hilarious how obvious Lan Wangji is being and then Wei Wuxian always finds some other explanation for Lan Wangjiβs actions.
Looking forward to continuing the series!
P.S. I would have given this 5 stars, but instead gave it 4.5 for two reasons. One: The translation. This is a common complaint youβll see with other reviews, but itβs true. And learning that the second editions of this book were slightly fixed doesnβt help, since Iβm not willing to buy the book a second time when it shouldβve been right before being sold. Two: If I didnβt already know the entire story from watching the adaptations, Iβm sure this would have been super confusing to read. (Again, that may have a bit to do with the translation.)
Donβt let this deter you though, I loved it!
