It really shows how well Kuang understand the human aspect and the tactical aspect of the war that she’s written. it was painful, heartbreaking, has you building empathy and sympathy for characters who are absolute monsters, because you understand what they’ve gone through and their trauma and what shapes them. But it also does not skirt around the fact that what they are doing is also completely unforgivable and evil.
It still has the amazing action sequences, he ramped up to 11. each chapter has amazing dialogue and lessons to be learned.

But omg it was incredible ! I can't believe what happened and yet it made so much sense !
Rebecca Kuang is definitely a genius and a very talented author!!!
This series was brutal but 100% worth it ! The reflection on religion and colonization was soooooo interesting !
