I laughed. I sobbed uncontrollably. In the face of the current circumstances and consequences of imperial conquest, I find myself drawn into the quiet loss of personal culture on multiple fronts. On the loss of many languages and cultures that compose my own background.
Revolution in the face of oppression is inevitable, and like our protagonists find, it is never a smooth road.
Kuang takes you on a beautiful journey. I should know by now that her portrayals will draw you in and break your heart with hope and sorrow both. If I could give it a million stars I would. Absolutely stunning.
