This book was astonishing! I’m in awe of how masterfully Kuang paced the narrative to culminate in an ending that feels so shocking and emotional and yet inevitable. The story I ended up with was not at all what I thought I was getting and yet when I look back it was always set up to be exactly what it was. Truly stunning.

Robin Swift was infuriating for the most part. There are lots of irrational characters and odd choices.
