Maybe it is fault of the translation but the way it was written was confusing at times.
Everything happened very suddently with a Lot of time wasted on telling us unnecesary information or nonsencical scenes.
It had a good idea but excecuted poorly.
Shernie is such a good story taller. I loved her book. I can't wait to read more from her.
The book is a sweet story about personal growth and following your dreams. It teaches you about the treasure is the journey and what you learn.
A fun story, if only a bit long. The characters are very interesting and the world building is solid.
I feel that this book has the mayor defect that Yangchen, unlike her counterpart Kyoshi is perfect. She can do no wrong and doesn't need to change in the whole book, she has no depth or complications.
She isn't the best character in her own story, having her companion be the protagonist, and a weak one at that.
The book was boring, little world exploring, flat characters and felt so slow.
Boring, with annoying characters. There were some highlights with the original type of writting style. But outside of that the characters where very annoying with an underwhelming ending
I disliked the two main characters so much. They were spoiled brats and feels too stupid to be explained as ‘they are teens'. The relationship is so toxic that it's funny this is a romance.
Overall a good book, the pacing was really nice and the references funny. I would only criticise the sex scenes that felt kind of unnecessary. Outside of that a very sweet and fun book for anyone LGBTQAI+ or an Ally.
This book was fascinating, if you are looking for a complex protagonist, multifaceted characters and a well put together world I recommend this absolutely.
The only thing I could critique is the amount of violence and death but it is understandable.
10/10 would recommend
Trash. Utter trash.
This book is so bad, the characters are flat, the story starts on the last fourth of the book. We waste so much time on Aester running away when it could have been a couple of chapters it was 50% of the book.
This might have worked as a comic but as a book it was boring. It was a massive info dump at the beginning instead of letting us discover it as time went on.
I am very disappointed with what happened to the characters.
They were all scrub up and remade. This isn't the Zetian or Yizhi I knew.
The communism was shoved down my throat as the best idea ever. I do not like books telling me what to think.
