    I absolutely adore authors Little Crab and Song Xiangbai. Their ensemble writing is superb and nuanced; every character is fleshed out, and every member of the main cast is lovable for a reason. Even the villains, while hateful, have their pitiable aspects and their own shining moments of kindness. They don't become ridiculously evil just for the sake of plot progression, and they don't force characters to become unintelligent! My first book to hook me was "Father Opens the Door," and it was the first time I'd ever seen a non-protagonist crown prince so positive, perfect, and alive!!! Seriously, such a wonderful crown prince—if he doesn't become emperor, who will?!

    I haven't read the one you mentioned, but this one is also an ensemble piece. The junior sister is the best—highly intelligent, resourceful, and courageous. The senior brothers are great too: a straightforward and beautiful swordsman senior brother (who's "coveted" by another senior brother [laughing]), a second senior brother who's somewhat clever but not very bright and "weak and helpless," a cute, food-loving third senior brother—Chi Baobao—and a beautiful, strong, and tragic fourth senior brother who had his flesh ripped out by his family. The master and uncle are also amazing (they love each other deeply, but each thinks the other's future doesn't include them [crying]). Ahhhhhh! The more I talk about it, the better it seems! Everyone should read it!
