A review by rosieryel
He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker-Chan

dark emotional sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
truly might be one of the most well-crafter tragedies i’ve ever read holy shit. some chapters were almost unbearable to read (wbx looking at u) but i’m really in awe how there were so many gut-wrenching twists and simultaneously a sense that everything that happened was inevitable which to me is the perfect recipe for a good tragedy.  my only gripe is that i wish ma had more page time or was even mentioned more by zhu in the bulk of the book before her pivotal role at the end bc i find her character so fascinating especially alongside the other pov characters. anyway i might never recover from this one
