A Clash of Steel: A Treasure Island Remix

far from perfect but i had such a fun time!

this was a fun historical adventure story, akin to daughter of the moon goddess in story telling but based much more in reality (actually there wasn't much fantasy to it at all?). the beginning might come off slow to some people but i adored the writing and how it pulled you in and immersed you in canton and xiang's world

the story overall was very wholesome and sweet with some plot twists that made me laugh (idk man serpent & dove broke something inside me). my personal favorite character was anh, she was borderline unhinged and fun for a naïve character like xiang to follow around like a lovelorn puppy dog

overall very surprised and very happy that i got to read this!!!
