💙🖤 Sword of Kaigen - M.L. Wang🖤💙
One of my favorite read this year. Read it to take a break from the Poppy War series to refresh my eyes only to get blast with a new wave of roller coaster with this one 🫠 did not regret picking it up tho only that I didn't pick it up sooner 🫡
A stunning stand-alone following the life pre, during, and post war; propagandas, traumas, family relationship, weavened into a tragic but sureal fic.
Reading these kinds of books while living in a time that war is actually happening, without living in the place of war, leaves a very haunting feeling long after closing the book. Despite this book being fiction, there are people who are very real living under these very horrifying reality.
I'm not super educated with the reality of what's happening to actually talk more about it 🫢 but I do believe humanity is a natural instinct, and so is loving one another 💙 Here's to a brighter and clearer future ahead. We hold onto each other until then
Sneak peak to some of my favs quote of this book 👇👇
Wholeness, she had learned, was not the absence of pain but the ability to hold it.
But if I learned one thing from Firebird, it’s that a person’s tragedy doesn’t define them or cancel all the good in their life.
A life of dangerous adventures might seem worth it now, when you are young and seemingly invincible, but one day, you will have children, and you will not want that life for them.
“Let’s be older when we meet again,” Misaki said. “What?” “Not just in years. Let’s be better, and wiser, and brighter next time.”
“You learn over time that the world isn’t broken. It’s just… got more pieces to it than you thought. They all fit together, just maybe not the way you pictured when you were young.”
