A review by year23
She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.

An hour in and the mc has been through multiple traumatic situations and not one emotion has been described.  They are at the school & finally some kind of internal state is shared - tired and overwhelmed (because of all they have to learn). For me, if things happen to characters, there need to be character reactions that bring those characters to life. Maybe this happens later but not soon enough for me to keep going considering how long this is. If events don’t impact characters and their development then why do any of these events or plots matter?
