    this is exactly what I want in a book & it’s very hard to imagine anything usurping this as my top book of the year.

    it’s amazing being able to relax into your trust for an author and fully submit yourself to the book, knowing it’s going to be outstanding.

    the writing just goes through you— I struggle to describe it. it is ACCESSIBLE, it puts you straight into its world, maybe that’s what makes it so good. I just melted into it.

    don’t get me started on the character work!!! robust! complex! going to have me staring off into a space for the next few weeks(?) ruminating! inspired the only note I took on my kobo: “I’m going to beat his white ass”!

    off to make my mom read this

    this was light & a fast read. I really enjoyed the historical setting & details, but had a hard time with the way so much of the story was presented— the interesting bits were all just explained to you, rather than shown or revealed via any clues you can use to figure it out yourself. it felt like maomao had already read the book & was just handing you the answers rather than experiencing it along with you sometimes. in that sense, I found it a somewhat unsatisfying read despite being otherwise easy to tear through.
