A review by wenruxian
A Desolation Called Peace by Arkady Martine

4.0

The pacing of this book was OFF. The first 7 chapters were sooo slow, then things picked up gradually and by the end everything was too fast. The ending itself was quite abrupt. 

Nevertheless, I enjoyed it and I especially enjoyed that the same themes of book #1 were explored subtly through characters’ relationships. 

+ I LOVED Eight Antidote, he’s probably my favorite character in the duology.
