Jules, reading commented on The Empire of Gold by S. A. Chakraborty
Content warning The empire of gold, vague spoilers but mostly complaining
Terribly annoyed by Dara. I just want to skip his chapters and get on with the story and see how it ends and be done with this already. I really don't enjoy reading this but I invested so much time already, I really want it to have a good ending. It gets better in parts, certainly better than the first book. But there is still so much annoying stereotypical stuff and I really, really don't want to read more from the perspective of a mass murdering person who sees himself as the victim in the story because he is merely a weapon to his masters. I don't get it, it's just bad.
I do want to know what's going to happen to the others though. And I'm always trying to see the good aspects of a book. But there is so much annoying stuff and really not enough queerness going on.
