What a fun time! I picked this up because I love an inhuman perspective and this delivered.
Ashton dies and finds himself reincarnated in the “body” of a Demonic Tree Sapling. We follow along as he slowly unravels the rules of this world and his own existence.
I enjoyed this book a lot, the pacing was pretty good and I found myself interested in all of the characters, even the ones who annoyed me (looking at you Stella).There were some parts that I felt were dragged out or repetitive but also it’s a 700+ page book so it’s whatevs.
I will say that I find it incredibly odd that in a work that is admittedly based in Chinese Cultivation Arts and culture there is not a single Chinese person. Everyone is snow white with the names to prove it. Ashton, Stella, Diane, Wesley…I could go on but you get the point. It was honestly very distracting and made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story.
