I wasn't sure if I would like this book based on the description as I'm not a huge magical/fantasy reader. But reading the excerpt, I was immediately pulled into this story based on a love triangle and arranged marriages. I was frustrated when the excerpt ended and I have to wait to get a copy of the book.

I appreciated the two pages at the start of the book letting readers know how to pronounce the different names of the characters. Right before the excerpt ends, Bao confesses his love for Lan and his deceipt in portraying his advances and overtures as coming from Tam (his employer's son). We see Lan become understandably enraged by this discovery and demand Bao leave her. What will happen next? I'm dying to know if she ends up falling in love with Bao after all.
