adventurous dark emotional reflective tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.75

I’m bumping this up to 4.75 because wow. I mean there are unfortunately minor flaws I can’t bring myself to overlook (the language is fairly simple especially compared to other rf kuang books) but this book is genuinely so good. Rin is one of my favorite fantasy main characters ever, I love the depiction of this deeply messed up protagonist so much
