A review by paperboundwords
The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang

adventurous challenging dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

It's difficult with sequels, they're either better or lacking something. Kuang nailed her sequel. It's not only better, it's more dimensional and deeper than one could have imagined.

It's harsh, emotional and devastating - an absolutely wonderful read for fantasy/history lovers!
