They have their own role to build the plot and to achieve the desired goals of the story. I like the character of Xingyin who started out as a naive girl, the daughter of a moon goddess who is isolated and only knows Ping'er and her mother. Then an incident makes her have to face a wide world that is different from her own. How she deals with the events that hit her, makes a decision from every available choice. I can't wait to read the next book because there are still many unanswered questions in this book.
