I was slightly underwhelmed by the previous book (which I still liked!), purely because of the amount of love I'd heard for it. This time, I see what people are talking about. It's a difficult read, with complicated characters and hard decisions. Kuang does a beautiful job introducing new playing pieces and juxtaposing class and race issues against one another.
