What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers are overwhelmingly positive about this book, citing its stunning and brutal depiction of war, deep world-building, and engaging writing. Many praise R.F. Kuang's ability to weave Chinese mythology, politics, and historical elements, likening it to a darker, more adult version of "Avatar: The Last Airbender." The book is intense and emotionally gripping, capturing the horror of war and complex moral dilemmas. Some readers noted minor issues with pacing and character development, but these were generally overshadowed by the book's overall impact and the main protagonist's compelling journey. Caution is advised due to graphic content, and many recommend checking trigger warnings before diving in.
