"Very beautifully written. Artistic language and excellent explanations of cultural words without disrupting the story. I cam see some similarities to the lore in the Poppy War but it is still unique. Some themes of Asian culture are very well represented. And now I understand the crazy jumping in C-Films lol 😆"
