Although very brutal and violent, I really like this series. Now that I’ve read almost all of R.F. Kuang’s books at this point, I can say she’s one of my favorite authors of all time!

Que livro, meus amigos!! Novamente R F Kuang escreveu uma história incrível que me deixou em desespero praticamente o livro inteiro. Com MUITAS reviravoltas e perdas que não vou conseguir superar nem tão cedo, A República do Dragão consegue ser brutal, épica e realista ao mesmo tempo! Amei os paralelos com países e acontecimentos reais e a complexidade de uma guerra. A evolução do relacionamento de Rin consigo mesmas, com Altan e com Nezha pra mim foram os pontos altos do livro.

I’m usually hesitant to read sequels, fearing that they’ll lack in comparison to their first book, but Miss Rebecca Kuang can never and will never disappoint me.
