I honestly am not even sure what to say other than “damn.” I had a hard time getting into it at first but then I was enraptured by the plot but even more so the characters who I was so invested in. They were forced to make impossible decisions to fight against empire and I was sobbing when they did. Want to talk about this with someone but R.F. Kuang is a really special writer.
