A review by cjamargo
The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang

adventurous dark 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? Yes

4.25

impressive to have a six month gap between reading the first instalment and this only to fall straight back into the predicaments of the characters 

only falls short because of how shocking the first one felt, especially in its conclusion, and i loved the school section so much (academia ftw)
