Dark and mystical. The most realistic portrayal of war I've read in fantasy literature– there are no happy endings. Was wild to finish it off whilst a little high on (hospital-issued) drugs when drugs were a main focus of the text. Another killer text from Kuang.

First rating 3.75⭐️… but I think I need to digest it a bit more before sticking to a final rating.
