It feels like an Asian version of Game of Thrones. Creative, heart wrenching, unexpected twists, complicated human relations, magic, it’s got it all.
This story is not for the faint of heart. It’s about young children/ young adults going through terrible things. But I think it does an amazing job depicting the truly contradictory nature of humanity. Nothing is black & white. People change their minds. The human condition is complex & doesn’t always do what is right.
Excited to have reacquainted myself with the story & characters so I can read the next two.

This is a book about war… and it does not take that lightly. It is very graphic & very raw. There is also heavy drug usagelauragracel's review against another edition
