adventurous dark sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

Couldn’t get into it. I liked the first, loved the second but couldn’t like this one. 
I understand what the author is telling us, there are flashes of genious in the book but it seemed unpolished… 
I am quite a picky reader so… maybe I am a little tough here. 
There is plenty of good stuff, the cleverness of RF KUANG is seeping through the pages. But it doesn’t hold together. 
I would highly recommand Babel, witch is much better, by the same writer.
