The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang

adventurous dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This was WAYYY better than the first book, this was BONKERS. I absolutely loved every character journey and the bits and pieces of political/war/power commentary was divine. I was honestly shocked when it ended because I was so engrossed. What a powerful sequel
