It's nice to be making progress on other books again.
Unfortunately The Dragon Republic is not living up to the bar The Poppy War set. It feels too beholden to the themes of the first book and the real history it draws from, when in reality it should have been its own thing. You can still see R.F. Kuang's masterful writing come out, but it's much more subdued from what I've come to expect.

It's incredibly refreshing to be this far into a series and for it to have remained so consistently good. If I had to say just one thing about R.F. Kuang's writing, it would be to say that she does not waste pages.

Still just as good - I sit down with the intention of just reading a chapter, and end up reading five.
