The Burning God
描述
Throughout the journey, themes of sacrifice and the haunting echoes of history resonate, painting a vivid picture of the turmoil faced by nations at war. Kuang’s masterful prose immerses readers in a world where magic intertwines with the harsh realities of conflict, forcing them to question the true meaning of victory. The stakes have never been higher, and as the fate of empires hangs in the balance, each character must determine what they are willing to lose in the name of peace.
As the trilogy reaches its conclusion, readers can expect an emotional and thought-provoking ride filled with unexpected twists and a rich exploration of identity, power, and resilience. The Burning God is a fitting end to a series that challenges conventions and leaves a lasting impact on its audience.

I gotta say, this book doesn't hold back - it's brutally honest and dark, making it kinda tough to fully connect with the main character, Rin.As our main protagonist and antihero (the whole book is pretty much from her perspective), she’s hard to love. I know this was intentional. Her purpose isn’t to make us love her, it’s to teach us something about war.While it achieves this, it does get stuck in a loop. Rin seems to be going over the same struggles and thoughts without much progress, which can feel a bit repetitive after a while. At times, I felt my brain drifting off as she came to the same conclusion over and over again.The power dynamics in the story constantly shift, which adds to the complexity - but it can also feel messy and overwhelming at times. And when it comes to the big climactic moments? I gotta admit, I felt kinda detached. Like, I was expecting this big emotional punch, but it just didn't hit me the way I thought it would. But maybe that was the point - to show how you can become desensitised to war. In which case, nice work R.F. Kuang.The Burning God, and The Poppy War series is a challenging read. It's not always easy to digest, but the honesty and depth of the storytelling are absolutely worth it. While this last book didn’t quite hit like the first two for me, I’m absolutely happy I took the time to get through it.For more reviews and book recommendations, check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/ginaluciayt
