3.5☆ — this was incredibly well written that i was easily consumed by this story and found myself saddened by when it came to its quick end. with its otherworldly high fantasy east asian inspired setting along with its amusing characters as they formed bonds in their adventures being hired to seek relics. i enjoyed how this story was able to touch on aspects of spirituality, one's perspective of self and along with how silent wars affect the common people with a broken system and corrupt government and religious leaders. i wish we got to see more of the mystic magical element of the order, i really do hope cho writes something based of this world she created because there's much more potential that can definitely be reached and where these characters go.
