4.5
the theme of sacrifice is so prevalent, especially in the context of the supposed religion vs. secularism dichotomy. from the start rin is set up as the kind of person who believes pain, violence, and suffering can be redemptive and is even necessary. and the way this is brought out so terribly during wartime and the other people she interacts with was well done.
i really liked that rin was an unreliable narrator. as the reader you can tell that
the way genocide and dehumanization was dealt with felt not very subtle, esp with some of kitay's dialogue. but thats fine.
i also liked that we heard different versions of this world's lore, filtered through various states' agendas. ofc different characters would know and believe different things due to state propaganda. this was a great thing to include.
