Rin is now fighting for the south, for the dark skinned people like her. But this fight is nothing like the strategic war and planned battles she knows. No, this is entirely new. And Rin fights to be in charge.
The twists and turns of this book! They were unpredictable and some came out of nowhere. And the ending, it is not what I expected. There were also a lot going on in this book, I found myself having to rewind the audiobook several times because I had missed information. This doesn’t bother me, but it is very dense.
There are a few things in this book that I don’t understand. It gave me more questions than answers, and I feel a bit unsatisfied having finished this series. I still love it, but I feel like I needed more answers.
I usually have a hard time anticipating what would come next, and usually can’t say whether a decision is out of character or not. So I may be totally wrong here. But some decisions made of the bigger characters felt a bit out of character.
