A review by marivillosa
The Burning God by R.F. Kuang

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

I’m devastated. I thought I was fine until I read the epilogue and sobbed. Idk what else to say besides that this story is tragic.
