Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers are generally captivated by this novel, which successfully blends elements of dark academia, historical fiction, and fantasy. They appreciate the intricately detailed world, the compelling characters, and the exploration of themes such as colonialism, racism, and the power of language. However, some found the book slow to start and dense, especially with its heavy focus on linguistics and numerous footnotes. Despite this, many found it thought-provoking and emotionally impactful, praising Kuang’s meticulous research and narrative style. The book is often described as both immersive and educational, making it a standout novel for those who enjoy complex, multi-layered stories.
