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.

I did find it a little hard to read through the first half, since it has a slower pace, and it has a LOT more focus on politics and characters psyches, than on the more "fantastical" side of the story. A lot of bad things happen, and it did start to feel so constantly hopeless, that it made it harder for me to read.
But the ending was just soo good and tense that it made it entirely worth it.
It is a difficult series to read thanks to its heavy topics and extremely grey characters, but I think that it's one of those series that, if you like adult fantasy and moral dilemmas, you just have to read. (But be sure to look at the TWs first)
