Part 2 done :)

For what it’s worth, I do appreciate how smoothly time passes in this book, and how cleanly it transitions from broad recaps of a war campaign to specific scenes. Kuang’s pretty good at that.

I think that even the most shallow, cursory understanding of Chinese history is enough to drop this trilogy by a whole star

I think the more of this book I read and the more I think about this trilogy in general the less I like it.

I forget how easy Kuang’s prose is to read, especially once it starts to pick up. That’s not necessarily a good thing, but it certainly speeds digesting this thing up by quite a bit. Enjoying more than book one so far.
