R.F. Kuang paints such vivid pictures, and her handling of serious content was deft. Even 30 pages from the end I had no idea what was going to happen, which I feel is very rare in a book. My only complaint is that some of the plot twists were so abrupt I had to re-read to see if I missed something.
