I started reading The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu a while ago, but I find it hard to stay focused on it. The world building is pretty interesting, but the writing feels kind of clunky to me... And the plot doesn't get going fast enough to make up for it. I feel a bit sad, because I had very high hopes for this book.

It took me a while to get used to Ken Liu's style, but after that I couldn't put the book down! The whole series is fantastic
