My Thoughts on I Wish to Ride the Wind
First Impressions
"I Wish to Ride the Wind" presents a unique blend of genres that immediately piqued my interest. A clever female protagonist, a murder mystery in ancient China, and a male lead who's been turned into a bird? It's certainly a departure from the norm, and I went in hoping for a lighthearted and engaging read. The premise alone promised a delightful adventure, and I was eager to see how the author would weave these elements together.
What Works Well
The heart of this novel lies in the dynamic between Shen Jiajia and Xie Chengfeng. Their interactions are genuinely funny and cute, especially as Xie Chengfeng, in his avian form, grapples with his growing feelings for her. I found myself charmed by their banter and the way they support each other as they unravel the mysteries surrounding the murders. The mystery-solving aspect is also quite engaging. While it's not a gritty, complex detective story, it offers a fun and accessible way to explore the ancient China setting. The author does a great job of creating a light-hearted atmosphere that makes the story enjoyable to read. I also appreciated the portrayal of Shen Jiajia's parents, who were supportive and trusting of their daughter's capabilities.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall story, the ending felt a bit rushed and messy. The introduction of the brother's plot felt somewhat flimsy, and his ultimate fate seemed a little too extreme. It felt like the author wanted to wrap up the story quickly, which sacrificed some of the nuance and depth that could have been explored. The novel is short, which could be a positive for some, but it also means that certain plot points and character arcs aren't as developed as they could be.

Final Verdict
"I Wish to Ride the Wind" is a charming and entertaining read, particularly for those who enjoy lighthearted mysteries with a touch of romance and the supernatural. While the ending could have been stronger, the engaging characters, the fun banter, and the unique premise make it a worthwhile experience. If you're looking for a quick and enjoyable escape to ancient China, this novel might just be the perfect fit.
