Lan is raised by his mother as a girl. She hopes that with this deception, Lan's power hungry older half-brother won't feel threatened and kill him before he is old enough to be sent away. Her brother eventually discovers the truth, however, and gives Princess Lan as a gift to a powerful genera...
I am not sure how to rate this. It's a solid 3.5 and I really don't feel like lowering it to 3 or upping it up to 4.One of the MC's names amused me to no end - Hui Wei. I mean, honestly, no person with a decent Russian can ignore the fact. Could it be a reason I insist on 3.5? It's hard not to giggl...

2,5The novel is a bit like those old, oriental films, full of pathos, setting and formal dialogues. It could have been very good -because I like that genre- but there are a couple of things that have held back my enthusiasm. I had to suspend my disbelief here and there to continue to enjoy the story...
2.5 StarsThis could have been SO MUCH BETTER.The story had potential...BUT the vernacular was so OFF it eas distracting. No matter how hip these two were, there's no way people were saying "puppy love" and "fair and square" in ancient Japan. But I could Overlook that for the most part.The MCs were i...
4.5 starsThis story had a lot of elements that I enjoy reading about. For one, it's set in historical China (there just aren't enough Asian books out there, IMO), there's the whole arranged concubine theme, the deceptive secrets and the fact this Princess kicks ass!Honestly, I loved this book.
