I was gagged by this book a bit, this is dark academia, so a school setting, following no particular plot, but characters in academic situations, and I was gagged by this book a bit, this is dark academia, so a school setting, following no particular plot, but characters in academic situations, and mysterious happenings... Even when I didn't really know where this was going, I really wanted to see where it would end, and the main character may feel a bit messy, but we are only from her pov and I couldn't help emphatizing with her and rooting for her, I enjoyed the friendships represented here in this weird school, and the writing was so interesting, a mix between poetic and random everyday moments like "she picked at the dirt under her nail", and "words were silly human inventions; the painting was a vision. Its pattern had a rythm that was so arcane, so simple and true"...more

Writing is fluid anIgnoring the fact that I took the entire month to read this, because it was still interesting and entertaining despite its lenght^^
Writing is fluid and poetic, intense/to the point or slow/meandering depending on the scenes, Ken Liu has a great handle on plot and characters, but it was big, I think it could have been divided into 2 books, I also wish I felt more of an attachment to the characters, still wanna know what happens next to this dynasty, over the years.. ...more

I love the writing, even when it's more poetic it flows very well with the story and ambiance, and the setting in Henrietta with the mix of supernatural is great.

So glad to have the sequel now so close to its release date, because I loved this ! The writing is excellent bc you can feel the pace of the story is controlled, while the reading feels fluid, and we have "characters moments", plot advancing, and battle scenes,..
The main character's journey feels "accomplished", I didn't think I was really attached until the end when I realized that yes indeed I was, the romance subplot was also a very good part of the story, (I do enjoy a fantasy with a touch of romance well done) as for the sequel, I don't really know what to expect but I'm excited^^...more

Talyien is my queen forever, my girl couldn't catch a break in all of the trilogy, but we were so immersed in her life, her head, that I did not have Talyien is my queen forever, my girl couldn't catch a break in all of the trilogy, but we were so immersed in her life, her head, that I did not have any other choice but to stan her, (and her romance subplot was so good). This is a grimdark adult fantasy, with its lot of content and trigger warnings, but the writing was very easy and quotable at the same time, the world was expanded upon the 3 books, as were the politics and conflicts, the characters were grey and developped, I basically don't have a bad thing to say about this last book.

Now, I could see how much thought and preparation the author made for this book, and as I was reading I could not NOT pay attention bc anything could happen at literally any moments. The stakes were high, the characters were numerous and varied, the plot was twisting and twisting endlessly lol, I can't wait for the rest of the books^...more
