    Oh my, medievally blonde! You are the book for me. I’m loving Clíodhna going to the politics meeting right after being called weak and just a pretty face 💅

    Picked this up instead of my scheduled read because I was really just craving something easy and fun - and it has definitely been that so far. I don't know if it is just because I am thinking of Legally Blonde, but even the writing style is giving that and it's really cool.

    I mean yeah... there is a reason this is so popular and has won so many awards. There isn't much I can say that hasn't already been said. So just some of my thoughts that may actually be unique: the ending was.. unsatisfying. I wanted more. And maybe that is a sign that this book was good, but I still think more could have been done. This book could have been WAY shorter. The same ideas were presented over and over again - hammered into the reader way too harshly. More subtlety in the themes would have taken this over the edge for me. As for everything else, absolutely great. This deserves to be a classic, everyone should read it, I hope they study this in schools everywhere one day. R.F Kuang dedicates so much to her writing, and it shows. Just not entirely for me (which is sad bc I thought for sure it would be a 5 star).
