e_len's review against another edition
Here are the reasons:
- I dislike the Charakters, especially Rin. She is just annoying now. She somehow managed to loose all her maturity and good points from book 1. Now it reads like the worst YA with an "I'm not like other girls, I'm a fighter and oh so damaged" protagonist.
2. The pacing. Even a snail is faster.
3. Sexism
4. Racism
5. The lazy worldbuilding. Take real countries, real people, real events and give them a different name. Slap magic on top of it. Can it be even called fantasy?
6. The revenge theme is just not my cup of tea.
7. I'm intimidated by the lenght of 796 pages (German translation). I'm not going to read it, if my enjoyment is 0.

How do I contact R.F. Kuang? I need to send her my therapy bills.
Fire and water looked so lovely together. It was a pity they destroyed each other by nature.
On another note, hubo cosas de este libro que no me cerraron y por eso lo ratee menos que al primero pero no fue nada que me impidiera disfrutarlo y sufrir como una desquiciada.
