R.F. Kuang is very much so becoming a new favorite author. This was fantastic! It's not the most easy read as the main character is frustrating AF, but it falls into this place where you can't seem to put the book down. My only real complaint is that I didn't love the way things wrapped up in the end. It felt a little rushed and also I get that the point is "some people will never learn and grow" but.. god it was frustrating!! to. see. zero. growth!! haha
