This book was really mind boggling. The crux of the story is incredibly interesting, it’s a unique plot. But the whole time I felt I was being brainwashed, which I think was the point, but also was frustrating.

I read this book in one day, after a friend had recommended it to me. It isn’t my usual genre but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

If you are looking for a feel-good escape from reality, this is not the book for you. You don’t you emotionally connect with any of the characters (who are all equally bad people), however, it is a very well written and thought-out book.

Excuse the cliche, but this book holds a mirror up to society’s cancel-culture and social media obsession. Well done Kuang for this deep-delve into the nitty gritty of human emotion and what really drives people.
