November Wrap Up!! (spoiler alert I love everything lol)

this book really surprised me i picked this book up kind of just expecting an angsty romance nothing really else and while it definitely delivered within the romance department i really felt like this also provided an excellent atmospheric academic setting as well that was really riveting and transporting

this book absolutely lived up to the hype in every way shape and form i loved it could not put it down flew through the whole thing

of the pages i've read so far it has been absolutely riveting it is so well researched and constructed the narrative quality of this is just hard to describe it's just so excellent

when i tell you this absolutely blew my mind i was shocked and awed by this y novel it was fast-paced it had great romance great characters a great world

i read the entirety of this second novel within the liveship trilogy this month and it was honestly just excellent it was a masterclass it was beautiful it was everything you want an epic multi-pov fantasy

i really ended up enjoying this and i gave it about a 4.25 out of five stars

it is a grim dark fantasy inspired by the song dynasty sino-japanese war as well as the opium wars and it is excellent it is gruesome but it is excellent
