A review by chhimichanga
The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang

3.0

I was in the fence about giving this book 3 or 4 stars and settled with 3 stars simply because of the plot line. The going back and forth between who Rin hates the most and who they’re fighting against made me a bit irritated. And then killed off or ruined some of the best characters in the book (The Cike and Nezha). I really really liked Nezha and Rin’s relationship, but I think Kuang wanted the readers to realize that war ruins people and I can respect that she wrote the ending the way she did. I also hope we get to see more of the Keytreyids. I am excited to see how this ends up in the third book.
