Ugh my heart can’t take anymore damage. RF Kuang really knows how to reel you in and then kick you in the teeth, but you’ll enjoy every moment. I love that Kitay becomes a strong, fully formed character and that we get closure across the board (even if some of it doesn’t go the way we wanted it to) While the ending is admirable and beautiful, I wish it hadn’t ended that way, but I suppose thats the moral of war and therefore the Poppy War Trilogy.

what the fuck. rebecca you’ve just jumped to the top of my author enemy list. we’re beefing. i will give you this though, it’s very hard to write a

main character death

and make it well done. it was so necessary which is why although im devastated i can’t say i hated the ending bc i didnt. i loved it (shame). i obviously didnt love that

rin died

like duh she’s my best girl she’s mother, and i didnt love rin and nezhas storyline because again, obviously. but from the beginning me, rin, and nezha all knew that

one of them had to die

. so with everything that rin did, her

dying

was the literal only possible ending for her. so even though im sad, when a

main character death

is well done i have to give it its flowers

<Spoiler>

So this book was amazing. Especially the ending, I was wondering how R.F. Kuang would finish a series like this as I always hate when things just are okay and fine once "the good guys" won the war and then everyone is happy and as someone came from a war stricken country I know that isn't the case. I loved the fact that Rin was a bad leader she couldn't possibly be a queen or empress, she was a soldier and soldiers don't stop fighting and turning Rin into a better show Daenerys Targaryen was the best decision.
I was a bit bored midway through but things started escalating fast and towards the end I was on the edge of my seat.
I really wish we knew what happened to kesgi I really felt sorry for him and Kittay deserved better.
