My soul has been decimated. If you want a happily ever after… steer clear of this trilogy. If you want outstanding literature that will pierce your heart forever… leaving you in shambles… you’ve met your match.
I barely have words. I felt every emotion in my arsenal, and I’m glad I saw it through to the end. A conclusion that tore me to shreds, but I don’t know that I could’ve seen it wrapped up in any other way.
RF Kuang’s writing is god tier in my book, these characters will live in my heart for eternity.
