Does Rin get any less insufferable??

A very interesting & entertaining read, but relentlessly bleak and grotesque. Requires lots of little breaks.

(Mild spoilers ahead)

Wow. I knew part 3 would be dark, but nothing prepared me for this. It’s made worse by the fact that the scenes depicted are directly inspired by the atrocities committed by the IJA in Nanjing at the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War. I feel sick and so sad reading this, but at the same time, I’m glad Kuang wrote this.

Slowly but surely. Bohr’s writing style is not for the faint of heart.

My first R.F. Kuang. Flying through this

It’s been great getting to focus mainly on just one guy, instead of trying to keep track of 9000 people whose names all start with the letter “C”, like you do when reading about Roman history.

The medieval English monarchy family tree is a bit of a dizzying rabbit hole, however.

Absolute cinema

Forever ruing the fact that I didn’t take the mathematical quantum mechanics sequence during grad school

One more short story to go!
