I love the unique world building of this story with the mirror people added with a prophecy to solved, it really capture my interest at the beginning. 
However, there’s so many aspects in this book that I wish for more. 
 
I couldn’t really understand some of Ying’s actions which really frustrated me most of the time then there’s the whole miscommunication with the love interest, Zhang Lin. 
I’m also not a huge fan of how the romance started for both main characters. 
 
There are some parts that sometimes took me out of the story especially when they ‘cursed’ in modern language which can be weird considering this was a historical fantasy book. 
I also have so many questions for the plot, like how some things came to be. A few events happen so fast with no explanation which left me wondering why. 
 
I had such high expectations at first cause this book had such a high potential to be a great one – the premise sounds promising, the cover looks great, it also had a fascinating world building as well. Unfortunately, this one didn’t work out for me. 
I would’ve liked it better if there’s more room for explanation and character growth, maybe making this like a duology.  
 
Thank you to TBR and Beyond Tour, Netgalley, author and publisher for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. I’m leaving this review voluntarily!
