Book review
The Grace of Kings
Floris recommends Ken Liu’s epic fantasy for its intricate story, characters, and conflicts involving love, politics, warfare, and betrayal. He appreciates how the narrative treats cooperation as difficult and offers several perspectives on events.
The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu is an amazing book in a genre that I normally don’t read. It’s a fantasy book that is set on some islands and represents technology as in the 16th age of China (or at least so I imagine).
The story is long, intriguing and very moving. It features love, politics, warfare, honour, betrayal, and more.
It features complex characters, situations that you can see from different perspectives, and highlights the difficulty of working together in this world.
I definitely can recommend it.
