Heavenly Tyrant by Xiran Jay Zhao
1.75
adventurous dark
Loveable characters: No

I read the book mostly for the plot. I felt it was overwrought in its writing and very hammer heavy in many of its themes. I thought the first book was more imaginative and this one didn’t quite do it for me - but some of that is personal taste. I think it’s hard to achieve depth in the present first person tense, and I didn’t feel the same excitement as I did when I read the first book.
