uh oh, a sequel turning out to be mediocre and a shadow of its predecessor? who would’ve guessed. in all seriousness, the tonal shift is bizarre. book one was filled with action and the tension of war and now so far book two has been nothing but court politics/drama

200 pages of vaguely interesting court politics and now 165 pages of the most insufferable love triangle. and what tf happened to badass Meilin? now all her inner monologue consists 24/7 is of her berating herself for being too “power hungry”
I’m only reading for gay legend Winter and Cao Ming Lei

so the author’s butchered Sky by making him possessive, controlling and violent and she’s even made Meilin now regret wanting to become a hero? Terrible writing

why do I feel like Meilin’s fate will be the same as Rin’s from The Poppy war…

“I’m not a good person, Meilin. But the difference between me and your little Anlai hero—I’ve never pretended otherwise.”
