I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this rating as it seems too low, but a 4 star feels to high. 

I really did enjoy reading this book, I thought it was a cool concept, with that being said, the reason I docked a couple of points was because I thought the beginning was slow and towards the end I thought it was really dragged out, I think it could have been a couple of chapters shorter. 

While reading this book, it genuinely felt like I was having a conversation with someone and they were telling me about the things going on in their life. I read through it really quickly and loved the switch up of genre, as this is quite different from what I normally read. 

I'll definitely be on the look out for some other R.F Kuang books in the future.
