Aggressively mid. I wish it didn’t center pregnancy and babies . I wanted this to be amazing but it was just okay. I did enjoy it when I was reading it, though.

I hate to rate an RF Kuang book so low, but this just wasn’t my thing. I got much more out of Babel. Kuang’s writing is great. It just didn’t grab me. I won’t be picking up the next book in the series.
