The Emperor and the Endless Palace

First of all, I think Huang would appreciate that this is the 69th book I've read this year. (Nice.)

I really enjoyed this but I wish it was a little longer! Usually, I think books should be shorter but I wanted more time with all of the characters. I had originally told a coworker when I started it that it was pretty spicy, but the spice was mostly in the beginning and end. I could have had more but I was mollified by lots of LONGING and PINING. Great stuff.
