Reviews with content warning for Death - The Dragon Republic

Nezah’s betrayal???? I was hoping Rin would have just the tiniest bit of happiness. I knew I shouldn’t have trusted Viasra, but I didn’t expect him to go that far. I’m distraught that Rin and Kitaly will have to go directly against Nezah who I LOVED getting to know this book. Ramsa and the rest of the Cike?? I’m unwell. Rin thinking about allying with the Empress??

The constant changing relationships and alliances should have been exhausting to keep track of, but it was such a compelling plot to see how things developed. I genuinely enjoyed this book more than the first book. There was more focus on Rin’s relationships which made the story more enjoyable to me. I never knew where the story because the politics/strategies of war are above me, but I enjoyed always feeling on edge. I felt like this book had more stakes because I was genuinely concerned about whether or not they would succeed multiple times throughout the story.

The author is just brutal to Rin and what she’s going through. But all of her suffering isn’t gratuitous. It clearly is designed to push her into a dynamic and complex FMC that you can’t help but root for.

I will finish this series because there is only one book left. I really don't like Rin but I like Kitay so I'm crossing my fingers. I hope it's not a repetition of the first and 2nd books. Because that's all this book was, a repetition of the first. Same mistake, same way of thinking, her saying she learn and change when she didn't...

I hope there is redemption for Rin because I really don't like her. She never learns even if she says she does. She makes the same mistakes again, again, again. She doesn't care for anybody except 1 maybe 2 people. She ignores people and then cries when they die?? Why? You never care or ask about them because they were a burden for you! That's all you said.
