by R.F. Kuang
adventurous
challenging
dark
informative
sad
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Complicated
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
A wild ride.
Throughout the book there were some pacing and characterisation (in the middle) issues.
What hit the hardest for mewere the page long rape descriptions from Venka as well as the general descriptions of the state in Golyn Nii .
Nonetheless, there was still some humor given throughout the book. Rin is a perfect protagonist. She emotionally complicated and annoys you every few pages (at least). I ex remely dislike Altan.
I really don't know what else to say. I just feel disturbed.
