What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers have mixed feelings about She Who Became the Sun. While many praise its fascinating and complex characters, especially its representation of queer issues and disability, some feel it lacks the expected level of fantasy elements, making it seem more like historical fiction. The book’s ending receives high marks for its satisfying and impactful conclusion, though the middle is criticized for dragging and having pacing issues. The characters’ progression and interactions, particularly those of the two leads, are seen as refreshingly unconventional and suspenseful. However, there are complaints about the writing style being pseudo-deep and modern at times, with some readers finding the character development and action sequences lacking in focus and depth.
