This book really had me hooked until halfway through, then it lost a lot of it's steam. Kuang does a really good job helping you identify with the characters, and it helps that it is such a small cast, but I wish she didn't say the quiet parts out loud sometimes. Also frustrating that the listed motivation for the characters to take this awful journey is just saying "they had to" in such an unconvincing manner
