“She was a goddess. She was a monster. She’d nearly destroyed this country. And then she’d given it one last, gasping chance to live.”

Rinezha you have changed lives and fundamentally altered me in ways uncomprehensable to outsiders

This book took me a while to get though because life got in the way but every time I picked it up I was immediately fully transported right back in the heart of it. So much happened in this entire series. It was a heavy read, all three books loaded with content and information and the rage and grief and horrors of war, and it was so beyond worth it. There’s so much to say about it all. I loved the symbolism and parallels within the series. I loved the Fire and Water, the call to real history, the voice given to those silenced and forgotten. I honestly didn’t fully understand why everyone was raving so completely about this series until finishing it. There was so much I loved from all three books and so much that resonated with me from her burning her skin and beyond, but that ending truly has left me at a loss for words. To see someone who we’ve grown with, someone so full of life and fire and eternal rage— someone with such an unyielding will to live and endure decide to ultimately take their life. For someone to be so determined to life and sacrifice so much and call for others to sacrifice so much… but then there really was no other way for this to end. I cried.

Wow. A brilliant story about a descent into madness. Rin became a MONSTER. There’s absolutely no denying that. She became everything that she hated. The ONLY thing that absolves her is the choice she made at the end, and honestly I find that choice a little hard to believe with how absolutely delusional and insane she was. I think it would be more realistic if Kitay had killed her than she killed herself.

And dear God, what a shit show she left Nezha with. I was pissed she didn’t kill him, but tbh his fate is even worse than death. A puppet, a slave, to the Hesperians.

Well… damn. RIP Fang Runin. You were a bloodthirsty, genocidal maniac who killed millions upon millions both directly and indirectly. It was fun to watch you go crazy with power.
