This series has my heart. R.F. Kuang pulls you in, builds this world brick by brick and throws you into the deep end.
This is definitely a reflective fantasy, with social and political commentary I dont often see so horrifically and wondrously written. This whole series is a must - though prepare for a decent book hangover after book three. I had a good cry and stared at my ceiling for a while after finishing this series.
