I looovvveee this book! Every page felt like it needed to be there and it never dragged on. Shockingly made me actually invested in war strategy so you know the writing was good. Zhu was such an interesting character to follow and seeing her development was so cool. The whole range of characters are so diverse and intertwined together so well. Kinda hated everyone by the end but I still felt i could empathise with them even if they’re morals were very questionable.
