5.0

I hyped this book up so hard and preordered multiple copies because I have faith in R.F. Kuang. I thought maybe I overhyped it? Noooooo. It deserved everything. I love slow reveals and meaningful development. This book did not even feeeeel like 542 pages. The slow burn was delicious and it engulfed me in flames. 100% deserved. Would recommend. Will read again. With snacks. In one sitting. I will, like, never recover.
