Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation: Mo Dao Zu Shi (Novel) Vol. 3

I’m so happy that the physical copies had arrived ! I love MDZS :) ! It’s an amazing book with amazing plot and very well written ! 10/10

This is my first Chinese danmei (I now own the full 5-volume series) and it won't be my last.It's beautifully written, the characters are interesting, the plot, which includes a lot of in-depth information about Chinese myth and culture, is fascinating, and the book itself is very high quality.Seven Seas does an excellent job publishing these danmei novels. So much so, I now plan on buying every danmei series they are currently publishing.

I bought this book for a birthday present. She loves it. I actually took a peak myself and the pictures are beautiful. She said it’s very close to the actual book. So I might read it after her.

Love the buildup and angst in book 3. The world building and context given for why things are the way that they are now is gut wrenching and well written

My kittens love this book. They purr when I read it aloud to them! We call it cuddle and story time

Volume 2 ended with the protagonists fleeing Carp Tower after Jin Guanyao revealed Wei Wuxian’s true identity. Volume 3 opens in the past, with the clans sending their heirs to Qishan for indoctrination by the Wen Clan. This volume was a tough read because WWX and LW endure so much heartache. The disciples are really hostages and, after being relieved of their swords, are bullied and endangered by their captors. They are used as bait for Night Hunting and these events lead, of course, to the Cave of the Xuanwu of Slaughter - and eventually the horror at Lotus Pier.LW arrives to indoctrination wounded and WWX continually tries to help him – raising the ire of Wen Chao and the alarm of Jiang Cheng. After a hunt leads to the infamous Xuanwu, the Wens retreat and leave the disciples to die. WWX and LW figure a way to help the others escape, but are left trapped with no food, supplies or swords. Even though WWX and LW finally begin to communicate, and readers see the introduction of their song WangXian, this is far less “romantic” than the adaptations. They are in dire conditions and LW’s hostility toward WWX is somewhat extreme - no doubt due to the painful events he endured before arriving in Qishan.The hardest part of this installment to read is the tragedy of Lotus Pier. This is the defining event that leads WWX to demonic cultivation. And his turn is so much darker than the tv show. In the novel, he doesn’t control smokey spirits – he controls literal corpses, that he has often dug up, and he appears with them around him, and it is creepy. This lends more credibility to the cultivation world turning against him, and LW’s painful confusion over what to do about WWX. Given what WWX endured, his revenge on Wen Chao is vicious and downright BRUTAL (and, I admit, far more satisfying).The volume closes back in the present, as WWX awakens in Cloud Recesses after Jin Ling stabbed him, investigates how Jin Guanyao may have killed Nie Mingjue, and finally ends up with LW and WWX at the Burial Mounds at the start of the second siege. Definitely a cliffhanger for anyone who isn’t familiar from the adaptations. Despite the sad storylines, this was still a five star read. Great writing, great characters. I cannot wait for the remaining volumes!
