“It’s just changed so much, that’s all. Centuries of civilization wiped out in a couple of years. It’s awesome!”

It’s giving Anne Rice’s Taltos but before Anne Rice did it, and in the future

Also wow… caustic semen 💦☣️☢️💀. Nuff said.

Damn this book had a lot of potential, but so many elements were completely fumbled

Okay maybe this book is a male power fantasy 💀💀 The treatment of women in this book really is bad in a way that doesn’t feel like commentary. 400 pages in and I am waiting to be proven wrong

“But you’re not a weak and foolish girl.”
“No. I am a fucking queen.”

An icon

You mean to tell me this girl tattooed this man and he doesn’t know her at all? Do these vampire hunters not talk to their tattoo artists? Weakkkkk

This is wild. Moral of the story is don’t listen to Goodreads reviews

Anyone who picked this up and read the first page and felt “One star to this misogynist 4chan neckbeard” is completely and totally missing the point… like how are people so woefully unaware when a commentary is being made

You know a book is good when you’re thinking about reading it while doing other things

“His voice was thick and furry”

“…calling out bids and bullshit.”

This is good but Chen’s writing quirks are a bit sus sometimes. The number of times a person’s voice is described as “thick” in this book is a lot. There are some shifts in narrative voice that don’t make sense in the greater context of the rest of the narration. And lots of double-adjectives— “___ and ____”

Done soon 🤞

You mean for me to believe that she mourned this boy who she only knew for 9 years for *19 years???* Girl RIP move on from both these men honey. Suchi girl WAKE UP !!!

I’m sick. That landlord “communist” party ass bitch. Mad respect to Haiming cuz I’d have been mad SOBER

I’m with Suchi’s dad

Also Junjun being a landlord and also a government official and a Communist… there’s subtext there I am too stoned to pick up on. But it’s there!!

This is not my usual genre but this is a very good book

Omfg I’m sobbing 😭😭

… Is he gonna blow everyone up?

I picked this up, read the first bits, then put it down thinking “yuck. Yuck yuck yuck.”

Will come back to it

The duality of man

While some may call Lana’s poetry

Pretentious

I’d say that art is art

And that I appreciate
