i must say, the beginning was a bit boring, but that's for the most part of books, the second part was chef kiss, and the last part well... it was definitely something, I didn't really like the ending because I found it a bit vague, but on the other side it was intriguing because now I've got a lot of questions like "what is Rin going to do now?", "who's gonna stand by her side?" and so on. so I can't complain, and I have high expectations on the following books of the saga. 

but please if you're sensible to some kind of topics check the trigger warning and be careful to chapter 21.

This book BROKE me. The first part about regular schooldays in a fantasy world was a lot of fun. In part two hell broke loose and in the third part every page tore my heart into smaller and smaller pieces. Cannot wait for the pain from the next books. 😀👍

The characters were great and character relationships were even better. Love me some morally gray protagonists. :)💔
