Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
It's been such a difficult read to get through. I love love Zeller as a narrator, but their voice brings to life such terrible characters and listening while not being able to do anything is disheartening. Kuang is an amazing story teller, and this second book was perfect. If you can handle the heavy topics in the first book, you'll be able to get through this one as well. It's hard to say you enjoy something that is filled with such pain, but it reminds me of how complex humans can be.
