The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu

2.0

DNF: 2/5
This is my second attempt at reading this book, but as much as Liu's silkpunk aesthetic and promises of intricacy and action appeal to me, The Grace of Kings comes off as a hodgepodge of subplots and uninteresting details that failed to capture my flighty attention. The main characters seem too contrived and frankly a bit bland; I was only to make small headway with them before calling it quits.
