review 1: It's hard to believe that this series didn't receive greater accolades most likely due to the era/setting. I find that very disappointing since the author presents a well-developed world worthy of the story. You'll be drawn into the mystery, flipping page after page to discover who-dun-it and sighing happily at the execution of the romance. The couple made sense within the setting. There wasn't instant blamo we're together forever, but instead the sparks and conflict brought the pair to a point they had to adjust one another's viewpoints. I love this author's books and am excited to read another of hers.
review 2: At first I wasn't sure about this book but as I read on I became enthralled. Wu Kaifeng and Lady Mingyu are sooo much more interesting than Yue-Ying ... moreand Bai Huang. I was captured by the prose and the ability the authoress has for transporting me into a different cultural setting in an effortless way. It helps that the author intimately knows what she is talking about and I just enjoyed every moment of the book. It never lost its shine like the first one and I truly felt for the main couple. Lin has really improve in her writing and her pacing has improve greatly.Kaifeng and Mingyu relationship was this effortless flow of events that felt organic and never forced in any way. At first I was leery of ever feeling their love and connection but Lin proved me wrong. I felt their love, I felt the impossibility of their relationship and the despair at circumstances that set them apart. I was also incredibly happy that Mingyu was able to escape her infuriating suitor, Magistrate Li, on her own, it was an empowering moment to see her escape her fate. I want to read more books Jeannie Lin. less
