She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

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

4.75

I had to take off .25 stars for
every queer character being Greek levels of tragic. So incredibly well written, but it edged a little close to that trope of gay villains. Also cause it broke my heart.
This book is incredibly well written and really makes you care about the characters, but idk if I have it in me to read the next one.
