The elixir for immortality has been in demand since the very existence of humans. Having seen it in different cultures, the concept did feel familiar to me and I was able to grasp the story really quickly. What was interesting to see was the angle from a Chinese mythology perspective.
At first impression, the story felt like a dance between magic and science. Intertwining their branches as you move ahead into the story. The timelines mentioned in the book match very well with the descriptions of days tracking via seasons and other details - it felt like I was transported to ancient timelines.
