meggoes 's review for:
Heavenly Tyrant
by Xiran Jay Zhao
adventurous
emotional
tense
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
The dramatics of the MC sometimes took me out of the book.
Normally I do not enjoy even remotely vague messaging about a character's moral compass or whether they are "good" or "bad." Despite moral greyness -- or really, characters doing both good and evil, participating in manipulation or enacting violence but for righteous reasons, etc. -- I still really enjoyed it.
I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
