I really wanted to like this book. The premise got me really excited but I had a hard time getting into the story.
I don't even know why! The idea is quite unique and due to the Asian vibes, it is really different from any other book I've read so far.
The worldbuilding is interesting enough and I liked the whole Jade thing. I took me some time, however, to fully understand how the system is supposed to work and to tell all the people apart.
About 2/3 into the novel I really started to get sucked into the plot and appreciated the story more. As the story follows different members of the Kaul family I had, naturally, some favorites. That also means there are some characters I liked less and I had to try hard to not just skip those chapters.
