RF Kuang has a gift. She is able to artfully craft a story with seamless incorporation of backstory. Her characters are well fleshed out. Her conflicts are meaningful. Behind each story there is a second story of real world events and social challenges. I will say this is one of the more horrific war imargery I have read and definitely isn’t for the weak of heart.
