I buddy read this, for my thoughts and comments: The Hidden Moon buddy read
I loved these two.
She knew this was impossible. Because of birth and class. Who she was and who he wasn’t.
The Loooooooonging!
“Do you think I’m spoiled?” she asked all the sudden.
“Yes,” he answered without pause. He glanced at her, smirking. Gao’s look entirely changed when he smiled.
She managed a smile back, her heartbeat skipping.
The honesty and connection of two people seeing each other in ways no other person pays attention to.
“Lady Bai.” An iron-hard voice sliced through the silence. Wei-wei looked up to see Gao standing over them. His gaze fixed onto Li Chen. It was the first time she saw a glimpse of what her brother had talked about. What Mingyu had warned her away from. Gao didn’t have to say or do anything. Magistrate Li kept his eyes on Gao as he released her arm, moving slowly as one would do when facing an unpredictable and wild animal.
The touch her and die vibes!
“I never thought you could possibly be mine, Wei-wei,” he said, his voice heavy. “I just wanted to ask.”
My god.
The historical time period classism angst felt!
If you've read the series, you'll know there is always a murder mystery, I was kind of meh on the one in this, felt super to the side and I'm not sure I always grasped the whos and whats and then the ending got resolved kind of off screen.
I don't know, I was extremely busy these last couple weeks and yet, these two didn't leave my mind.
