I read the manhua two years ago, saw the anime and live amazing adaptations ( with Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan) and now I'm reading these official translations. For me, it's impossible to separate the reading of this novel from his fond memories of its live action adaptation The Untamed. I'm so in love with this story. The strengths of the novel that stood out for me included the subtle and witty bantering dialogues and hilarious interactions between the two lead characters Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji ( commonly referred to by fans as WangXian). The loyal and enduring friendship between them, the complex politics that surround the various cultivation clans and sects, the constant questioning of the meaning of good and evil and of course the love and familial bonds. If you are new to the series, I would recommend frequently referencing the glossary of terms and names. It's very helpful. For me though, it was nothing less than a full five star read and I can't wait for the sequels to come out.
"No matter how thoroughly Lan Wangji was raised as an unrivaled rare beauty, nothing could help the fact they he looked profoundly embittered, as if he had lost his wife" schovat popis
