"The writing style/voice differs a lot from the main character’s inner dialogue vs how she speaks w some other characters — it’s throwing me off a bit. very pretty settings, though. this book kind of needed an intro world building chapter, like a legend or something, to give a crash course to ppl unfamiliar w Chinese mythology, but I’m just enjoying the vibes for now" — Apr 03, 2026 10:10PM

They did not know whom to accuse, whom to vindicate.”

“...All the confessions that are uttered here are true. We make them true. And above all we do not allow the dead to rise up against us. You must stop thinking that posterity will vindicate you, Winston. Posterity will never hear of you. You will be lifted clean out of the stream of history. We shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere. Nothing will remain of you, not a name in a register, not a memory in a living brain. You will be annihilated in the past as well as the future. You will never have existed.”
