He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker-Chan
5.0
**Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Publishing Group for the eARC.**
I've been left drowning in my pain and awe of The Radiant Emperor duology. Shelley Parker-Chan is brilliant. There is no way that I can do this book justice in a review.
It is enthralling and heartbreaking trauma wrapped up in perceived gender, expectations and internal judgement. The line between love and hate is so utterly thin that they are blurred, which creates suffering built upon pain. War is no kind matter and mercy is rarely given.
Intricate plotting that plays out between character driven POVs just has been reeling even thinking about the wins and losses experiences. The tolls due for choices are exponentially high and are paid mentally, emotionally and physically.
Reading He Who Drowned the World was absolute whiplash for my heart. This duology is dark and difficult, but so worth it if you're willing to accept an achingly haunting story.
