5/5 Man, I loooved this book (and lost lots of sleep on it, so thanks for that Ruocchio). I'm fully on the sun eater hype train now, choo choo. I consumed a lot of sun eater content on youtube the last few days and one comment below a Demon in White review describes pretty good how I feel about it overall. The commend said: "Demon in White is like reading 5 of your favourite books". And jep, this is it. This is a 900 page juicy piece of scifi goodnes that has something new and interesting happening all the way through. It also cements Hadrian as one of the most intrigueing and interesting protagonists in fiction for me. I couldn't have hoped to imagine that a character can be written in this way in a story that you know the end of from the very first page on. There's also the prose, and man it's phenomenal. It truly feels like reading the memoires of a hundreds of years old dude, a DRAMATIC hundreds of years old dude. Everything happening reads like it has the weight that it actually should have. I love that the older version of Hadrian also reflects on things he is writing about his younger self, it's highly thought provoking and fascinating. So yeah, book good. Go read this series.
