I was really excited when I got my hands on a copy, since I'd just finished reading Lords of Discord earlier this year and absolutely loved it. I will definitely read Princes of Mayhem as Sky featured quite a lot in this book and I've probably already exposed myself to a fair number of spoilers.
Each character had a unique personality (it was startling when Moon started flirting so boldly with Chen when they first met), so while character development was not the greatest, the MC's personality were by no means flat or one-dimensional. It was also fun to see the Variks again.
The plot was a perfect blend of action and romance, but also sets the stage for the series' main plot about the fae. However, I don't think the ‘underworld' scene was particularly neccessary for the plot. The romance was okay. I didn't feel major chemistry between the MC's. Also the romance developed relatively quickly - around a week or so if I'm correct (but the book does span over a few months). But Chen and Moon's relationship is really sweet and Chen's protective side was chef's kiss.
And as a Chinese (Hong Kong!) person, my favourite MC is obviously Chen. I loved the little tidbits of Chinese/Cantonese culture; it was obvious the author did put heart into researching Chinese history and traditions, which I really appreciate. Although I would say Moon calling Chen ‘gege' felt weird since the word is best suited and used most often for family, and people rarely call their lovers ‘gege' anymore (‘Chen-ge' is probably a better term of endearment). Just personal preference, though.
