The graphic scenes were a lot, but as they were based in history I commend the author from not shying away

It is my opinion that this book was absolutely brilliant. It was a saga from beginning to end and there is still two books to come. It was probably the most brutal book I’ve ever read, but a great study of humanity and morality delivered in a developed historical-fantasy package. It was unusual for me in that it had no romance and relied entirely upon your caring for the world as seen through the main character’s eyes. On the plus side, without romance, platonic and familial-like relationships get their chance to shine in a way that I feel is often lacking in literature. Definitely check the trigger warnings and only read this as allowed by your mental health. There is a lot of gorey descriptions, especially those relating to war.

Este libro... Este libro es perfección. En serio no cambiaría absolutamente nada. Avanza rápido pero no demasiado rápido como para perderse y tiene escenas de descanso por medio. Los personajes son uufff. Rin es la mejor, mi favorita, se merece el mundo. Espero que su relación con Kitay se quede en amistad porque lo estarían malogrando. Por último, no me creo que Nezha esté muerto de verdad. Apuesto todo a que vuelve.
