★☆☆☆☆
Wuxia gone wrong
I am sorry but this is not it. As another reviewer put it this book emphasizes all the defaults of Wuxia without any of the redeeming qualities. We have got: gratuitous violence, protagonists obsessed with power and gaining more of it, classist people. There is no notion of honor in this book and the MC is so dislikable that by the middle of the book I did not care wether he died or not and sometimes I wished someone would come and whoop his a** thoroughly. The world is not well established, we are given the impression that the world is vast but without any comparison to it. There is no map. There are some consistencies issues. The MC is obsessed with vengeance to the exclusivity of nothing else and he is really not that smarts. He gets in way over his head and 9 out of 10 a deus ex machina gets him out of it. It was awful I would not read the next book and would strongly advise against reading it.
