RF Kuang has a gift. She is able to artfully craft a story with seamless incorporation of backstory. Her characters are well fleshed out. Her conflicts are meaningful. Behind each story there is a second story of real world events and social challenges. I will say this is one of the more horrific war imargery I have read and definitely isn’t for the weak of heart.

It reads like a movie which I enjoyed. Read in 2 days. Great writing. I didn't feel like I needed a history lesson or a dictionary while reading. The characters didnt make me care about them so Im not planning on continuing with the series. A good read if you like military fantasy.

Um… if you get triggered/ upset easily, I DO NOT recommend. All of the trigger warnings I put for extreme, because honestly, some of them aren’t that graphic, but a lot of them really are, so genuinely read at a risk. Some themes were manageable, but quite a few scenes made me feel sick.
