Rin is on the run with her anchor and running a small army attempting to take on the hysperion and republic with monsters that should probably stay dead.

I tend to be able to finish a book of this length within 2 days... this one took me a little over a month. This book (really this series) demands your attention and emotions and everything you have to give to it. Every second I was not reading this book I was thinking about it and the things it was telling me to look at and observe in the world. So many POC have such a similar story for their country and this makes you not only feel incredibly seen and understood but makes you take a good hard look at how the things that happened to your country left such long lasting scars in you and your family and how you responded. This isn't a book/series for just anyone. It is a very difficult read emotionally and mentally. I took breaks because it would begin to feel so overwhelming, but man was it worth every second. Rin is not easy to love but man so I hold her so close to my heart. I will for sure be going back for a more in depth reread at some point. For not I still feel the weight of this book on my chest and will probably be constantly thinking back to it's themes over the next few months.
