Unfortunately, I just got bored with this. This book is very long and there are a lot of spots (at least in the part that I read) that I wish had been more concise to get through the more monotonous aspects of the story more quickly. This book is meant to be more fluff that anything else, though, and I didn’t love the characters enough to want to keep going.

i was not vibing with the main character at all. what i learned reading this is that i really need to like at least 1 character or else i’m not going to make it through a book. since mo ran hates everyone but shi mei (and i didn’t really like shi mei) it was hard to like anyone. i wanted to like this book since people who like it speak of it so highly, but i think i need to give it a second shot when i’m feeling more patient.

there’s nothing wrong with this book, i just really wasn’t feeling it. i might come back to it
