In this thrilling conclusion to Heaven Official's Blessing, can Xie Lian and Hua Cheng triumph against an all-powerful foe?
Also included in this final volume are five bonus tales of romance, celebration, and adventure.
What a conclusion to an amazing story, with amazing characters.
I will admit that twice in this volume, I cried. One of those times being the final part, I think the main story was closed beautifully. Everyone seemed to get closure and century old relationships became more equal. I also love how they all pretend to not know to the full extent, Xie Lian & Hua Cheng's relationship, but the all seem to accept it.
I've loved reading about how their relationship grew from friendship to lovers. I think it's safe to say that this has been one of my favourite novel series' to read. I'm sad it's over but I can't wait to read more from Mo Xiang Tong Xiu.
As always the artwork is stunning and really adds to the story and each chapter.
I also have the special edition of the volume, so it came with some cute extra's like a bookmark, posters and postcards.
I will always highly recommend this series as it's really well written and flows perfectly. You can't help but love and hate the characters. It's such an emotional ride through each of the volumes but, I think that's what makes this series perfect. It keeps you wanting to read on and see what happens next.
