Reading the large print version because it’s the version I got for Christmas and I’m not picky. It’s very pleasant it sits in my lap.

Absolutely LEGENDARY lock in from the protagonist. I’m lowkey hyped.

If you, dear reader, like when miscommunication is the lone cause for tension between your two main characters for over half of the book, this one is for you!
Boy oh boy can RF Kuang write an unlikable but still understandable protagonist. Chapter 20 gutted me. It was tough to read Girl-Who-Thinks-She’s-Above-Feminism learn that feminism is for her too :[

BIG fan of when in fiction they cite other fiction as fact. Like Dante and Orpheus are premiere first hand accounts of hell. That’s beautiful.
I don’t like this repeated trend of CLIFFHANGER->entire chapter of backstory I probably could have figured out myself->back where we left off. I might just skip the exposition chapter next time.
