An incredible sequel and book 2 of 3 in this incredible series. The heavy yet beautiful subjects addressed in this book has me hopeful and thoughtful in our progress forward in society. The mix of Chinese history through a modern lense is so expertly crafted. Highly recommend, but it is a book you will likely need breaks from. It is INTENSE. Easily one of the best book series I have ever read and I am new to the mech-battling genre!
