Die Kaiserin by R.F. Kuang

adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I liked this book. I know very little about the Chinese revolutions so this series is highly interesting to me. Loved the fights and really didn't expect the ending. At the end, Rin is at the place I thought she would be at for the second book. This makes me really excited for the third and last book of this series. This book has some problems with the development of side characters and you are sometimes a prisoner of Rins POV but otherwise it is a great and fun read.
