5.0

This was better than the previous book. I fully enjoyed the direction it went and the plot points to get there. The story had more elements in it, and makes more sense. The plot is very elaborate, there is a lot of events going on, but it is not developed to full potential. Get a little bit of romance, politics, family struggle but it doesn't dive into any specific conflict. There is not enough strategy written in; the characters just solves the problem. I would have like to see the characters demonstrate their cleverness more. For Zhuan Xu, he had a very big climb to the top but readers don't actually see all the strategy, schemes and relationships he utilized to get there. It was disappointing because the journey seems epic to go against all odds. 

Despite the shortcoming, I enjoyed the story as a whole.
