I completely understand why the reader wouldn’t like or appreciate Rin. This book really gets into how a person can be changed during repeated trauma.

I started reading this and was unable to put it down, just like the first book of this trilogy. Kuang does an amazing job of keeping you on your feet in a way that is believable but also unexpected. Rin is at her absolute worst and she is still a character I want to root for, who I believe in.
