She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

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

4.0

 So much about this was really great and I am struggling to talk about it without either spoiling things or being so vauge that it is unhelpful. I will say that I got kind of lost in the political aspect of this (which is a me problem, as I am not used to that being a huge element). I read this on audiobook, which was nice but I think re-reading it in physical form will probably help with some of my confusion -- and I am definitely looking for a chance to look at these characters and this beautiful writing again
