I have a love hate relationship with Rin, she's really well written. Like she has some kind of growth but refuse to reflect and stay really easy to manipulate due to her stubbornness. She's so full of herself that she refuses to believe she's wrong while simultaneously hating every part of her.

I'm utterly destroyed.
How do I contact R.F. Kuang? I need to send her my therapy bills.

Fire and water looked so lovely together. It was a pity they destroyed each other by nature.

Quiero pensar que hay una explicación completamente razonable para semejante traición; no puedo decir que fue un plot twist porque honestamente me lo re esperaba pero eso no hizo que me doliera menos

On another note, hubo cosas de este libro que no me cerraron y por eso lo ratee menos que al primero pero no fue nada que me impidiera disfrutarlo y sufrir como una desquiciada.

What a great sequel, i am so invested in this series. The twists and turns in this book were great and the ending felt like a satisfying conclusion. These books also have such a way of depicting war that really makes me consider the nature of it from a philosophical standpoint. I also really love that you get the perspective of how white people appeared from an eastern perspective, its just something I haven't really read before. the amount of historical details that are entered into the plot is insane.
