amalthiaIt took two weeks but I finally finished reading all 8 volumes. I had a blast, the story made me cry, laugh out loud, and I loved the world building and the characters really grew on me. I highly recommend this book. If anyone has any fan fiction, music vids, or art recs I'd love to hear from fellow fans of this novel.
Next up, I'll try the TV show version. I've seen vids and the animation is beautiful.

Date: 2024-05-26 07:58 pm (UTC)TGCF had so many potential slash pairings it was amazing! I cried during the Wind Master story arch and finding out how he became a good. I also loved Xie Lian's childhood friends/servants and their endless bickering.
I'm also holding out hope that maybe with a change in leadership the live action show may have a chance to see the light of day.
What I found interesting about the book is that it's a love story/action adventure but it was PG for the most part when it came to sex.

And yeah, I appreciate how much plot is in TGCF. SVSSS is more relationship focused, but there is still a great deal of plot which I enjoy. :D
