I read this book in one sitting thanks to rivetedlit.com's 24 hour challenge. It was difficult, but definitely worth it.

There aren't many words I can describe this book in other than "amazing". The world building, the characters and the plot were all amazing. I got really attached to the team, especially the two main characters, Zhou and Daiyu.

I was a little too sure that all of them would make it out alive, so the character death towards the end definitely hit hard.

I was worried that the book might end on a cliffhanger since it's a first one in a series, but it had a clear epilogue and a nice closing. It is only the beginning, and yet the story was complete enough in this book that I didn't feel cheated by it.

Overall, I loved this book and I am looking forward to the sequel.
