This book was very real, and reflective of not only the world's current state, but also brings back the atrocities of the past and reminds you that what may have been history is still repeating itself and it truly gets you to reflect.
The book itself surprised me with its light-hearted tone at the start, and I was laughing at bits and pieces, falling in love with Rin as a character and getting attached to others. I like to think I don't cry quite easily when it comes to books, happy tears are easier to elict from me than sad ones, and this book wasn't an exception.
R.F. Kuang is really good at capturing every side: the good and the bad, and honestly her ability to make me question whether we truly are on the good side is pretty damn great. I'm a bit more intrigued to continue and read the rest of the series.
