This book… this series emotionally wrecked me. I was worried it wouldn’t live up to the hype. I had heard that this book wasn’t as good as the others in the series but this book was still amazing. I’m reeling from the shock of the ending. I finally got the character development from Rin that I was looking for and now it’s over.

This is the second book series that has ever given me a book hangover. 😭

A breathtaking end to the series. I felt every loss in my bones. A brutal depiction of war with a deeply compelling set of characters. 

"I am the force of creation. I am the end and the beginning. The world is a painting and I hold the brush. I
am a god.”

R.F. Kuang is SO gifted.

This whole series is incredibly dark; please check content warnings.

This was a great series. The characters were great. Rin is a fucking masterpiece. The plot was amazing. The pace was good. 

I did not love the ending. I just really didn’t like how

bitch boy Nezha brought down the god that is Rin. It wasn’t fair. Like everyone fucking died??!? … I get it, it’s poetic: fire and water don’t mix, but like either have them end up together or have Rin kill Nezha. He deserved to die for stabbing her in the back (litterally). Also like then I have to read a chapter at the end from his POV about how much he loved her and how much it hurt him to destroy her like bitch?!? Then don’t do it ?!?! Wow if only there was an easy solution like ughhhh. Usually I’m a sucker for enemies to lover but this was not it.

this book really was amazing. Like my real only problem was the ending. Also I wanted more of the found family Cike thing. I absolutely loved that in the first book.

still really enjoyed it but i think by this point i had gotten a bit tired of all of the same circles that have been happening over the past few books. still really enjoyed the characters

but i missed them all being together all the time,

and i felt like some of the newer characters were a lot less fleshed out. i think i liked the ending.

again there was so much goin on in here that it is hard to remember in totality if something should be graphic/moderate/mild. for instance - there isn't as much medical content/trauma in this book as there were in others but it was mentioned several times and (to me) clearly informs character's actions (as do many of these tags). theres a scene where the characters visit a town that has been taken over by the west/Hesperians .
