Official's Blessing ? In a word delightful... The novel concerns itself largely with trauma
compartmentalization and healing—as well as the nature of justice or righteousness in the
face of a social bureaucracy guided otherwise by wealth and privilege." –Lee Mandelo Reactor
(formerly Tor.com ) "[In the animated series ] Xie Lian and Hua Cheng's relationship is slow
to develop but absolutely satisfying to watch" –Hilary Leung CBR "...I'm definitely hooked
by Heaven Official's Blessing [the animated series]. The visuals are sumptuous and honestly
they could carry this series on their lonesome. But the fun characters gripping story lines
and emotional subtext is what kept me hooked." –Jean-Karlo Lemus Anime News Network
