Left me heartbroken. 10/10 would recommend.
Also I think it's so fascinating seeing the way the author has taken twentieth-century Chinese history from the Second Sino-Japanese War through the rise of Mao Zedong, added gods and shamanism, and changed some names to craft a compelling story with this trilogy. Even though I knew the general direction things would go in, the particulars of the story are done in such a way that kept me glued to the books. Plus it explores issues surrounding war and its fallout, colonialism, power, and trauma. The magic system is also very interesting, incorporating psychedelics and a pantheon of gods who each embody a different primordial drive/instinct. If you're looking for fantasy grounded in history and informed by the Daoist tradition, definitely give this series a try.
