The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang

The first half of the boom was good, really. But I just didn't have any energy or desire to continue. Which is such a shame because I loved both Babel and The Poppy War. But while The Poppy War hooked me and kept me entertained all the way through, reading the Dragon Republic felt like a chore. Maybe I'l start it again someday
