Compared to the previous installments in this series, the mystery takes precedence over the romance in this book. Unlike most historical romance novels, there's no brooding, nor is he pushing her away only to get jealous when she starts flirting with other men. It's refreshing to read about a dynamic devoid of these games. The mystery itself is quite interesting, even if it does lag in some places. The characters explore the Forbidden City and the affluent area of Chang'an as they try to uncover the truth. These are places Lin hasn't really explored in her novels. If you like this series, you'll enjoy this book.
