I love it. It’s just not the kind of book a binge read so it takes a little time
Post from the Tender Is the Flesh forum
this book has been on my tbr for so long and when I saw it was in the seasonal read-alongs I said fuck it let's start it and I'm loving it so far ! this isn't really revolutionary so far, concept wise, but I really like the way it's written and the fact that the protagonist seems to be having an extremely hard time with all of that (as you'd expect one would ...) I'm hooked

my passion for languages and I can already tell this book is going to be a 5/5

purely an appreciation post for the worldbuilding— Idk how kuang does it but the way we get to know the world, the magic system, and the characters is just AHHHHH SO GOOD

I'm really enjoying the linguistics part (which is the reason why I started this in the first place), I just wish the relationships between the characters were better flashed out, it feels like we're skimming through very important years of their lives without seeing much of it and it's not like there's no space for this cause the book's super long </3
