Fang Runin continues girlbossing her way to becoming queen of genocide and I am genuinely terrified for Kitay. Someone save him.
All jokes aside, this book suffers not a single ounce of Middle-Book-Itis. Kudos to R. F. Kuang for another banger of a novel.
I am looking forward to being destroyed by The Burning God.
