Press for The King's Warrior:

“I could read this book if it was six times as long. But all the stories untold are perhaps better left that way? We the readers live in an age that has monetized (if not weaponized) the idea of lore, to the point where I mostly don’t want to see more stories filling in blanks. They aren’t blanks. Zhu told this story, and I am happier in shambles than with closure, with mystery instead of history.”
