But as always, this book hits hard. It's unpredictable. It has many many layers you just don't expect.
Rin experiences a complete shift in perspective on her 'mission' and I'm her for it in the next book.
Kuang's ideas are woven into our mc's thoughts on abortion, on religion, on politics and power... and agree or not, they induce you into reflection.
This is so much more than a fantasy book.
Don't dnf it just because it's slow through the first 30%.

I admit I spent most of this book frustrated at Rin’s decisions and horrified at the consequences of her actions…but that was the whole point. Kuang throws a flawed, traumatized, furious teenager into a broken world and then sprinkles some mind-shattering magic into the mix—of course there will be hard choices and even more horrific outcomes. Rin is blinded by everything, especially her own rage, but every step she takes makes sense.
It takes an incredible author to be this true to a character, and I applaud Kuang while demanding that she pay my therapy bills for the next few years (at least).
Can’t wait to read The Burning God!
