To Gaze Upon Wicked Gods by Molly X. Chang
2.5
Oof.
I think if you remove the repetitive dialogue/exposition this book could be about 100 pages shorter.
The characters are very shallow and honestly I didn't care for any of them. Almost all of the relationship building between Ruying and Antony happens during a 6 month off-page time skip. Their entire relationship feels incredibly flimsy and surface level, and I have no idea why she suddenly trusts him and is also smitten by him. I think thatTaohua's death was supposed to be this big moment, but because there's almost no interaction I found that I didn't care at all.
Interesting ideas but incredibly poor execution.
