This book… omg I thought the first one was amazing. This one was even better. The pacing, the character development, the drama— amazing. I really liked the way we got to see Rin work through everything. I liked her development with the other characters and the building ( and breaking down) of relationships.

You’re gonna have to work really hard for me to get behind a Nezha redemption. He was already on thin fucking ice with that whole “all shamans should die” thing and now he got like Suni and Baji killed too? Fuck you, you betrayed Rin and she trusted you because you knew she loved you you little rich asshole fuck you

Absolutely living for Rin at the end of this book. Super excited to see her murder lots of people in the next book.

This series is amazing, I love it with all of my heart. It is dark, emotional and so beautifully written. Rin is written so vividly and the friendships that she has are very real. This book had me in a chokehold and I will not be able to stop talking about it for the months to come.

Read this in literally two days (thank you for the snow day!!) because it drew me in so deeply. I think it continued the story set up in the first book well, and the first half especially engaged with repercussions of some of the events that happened towards the end of the first book. I want to shake a lot of the characters and chat with them about how to handle big feelings. There continued to be a lot of war and politics involved in this story, I loved seeing the relationships between characters develop. A new group comes into play so that was interesting to see, I'm very curious about how all of these elements will tie together in the last book. Also extremely graphic.

This book shattered my heart in the best way possible. Onto the next book I go. This is the most fun I had reading a trilogy in a while.
