The historical background of this book is fascinating and reminded me of the prosperity and complexity of the Tang Dynasty. The author's writing style is very vivid, especially the description of the banquet scene, which made me feel like I was there. Moreover, the portrayal of historical figures in the book is also very good, such as Wang Shoucheng's power and Wang Jian's haggardness, which gave me a deeper understanding of the politics and society of that era. I think this book is worth reading and I recommend it to friends who like historical novels.
