This was a beautiful story written very well. I loved how the characters were written, they were strong characters. The story is full of twists that you will not see coming, but it will have you keep reading, I could not put this book down. It is about the Xian Dynasty, which I have been curious about so it was nice to read this book that was in that setting. This is inspired by the Chinese tale of The Three Kingdoms, it is pretty awesome to get this sneak peak into the year of 414. Zephyr is a character that was written in a way that she is unforgettable. The story is amazing, like it transported me to where everything was happening. I will definitely read more by this author. It was such an unexpected delight. I super super enjoyed reading this story, the cover was very eye catching. I can not wait to read more of this, i am happy that i got the chance to read this.
