Reviewed by Alexander EnglischFühlte sich an wie Deketiv Conan mit Romanze in einer alternativen Version des alten Chinas. Eine leichte Lektüre für alle die Romanzen und Misterien mögen :) Wundervolles buch und ein perfekter beginn der Reise von Maomao, aber auch alleine stehend ein tolles Erlebnis!
Reviewed by Eldarion I watched the anime first and already fell in love with this story then, but reading the light novel made me love it even more.
