When picking up The Dragon Republic, I was expecting a filler novel like so many other fantasy trilogies. I’m so happy to say that I was wrong. Kuang skillfully explores civilization after war, as well as the evils that come with colonization and a corrupt leader. Nezha’s character development was also extremely strong. I would highly recommend, and I cannot wait to finish out the series.
