I loved this series and I love this author. This was really graphically violent at the start of the book. Can’t finish now.

i saw the ending coming a mile away but it doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt. I think the way the trifecta ended was a bit anticlimactic ( I wanted more from Riga) but also I think it was necessary to demonstrate the might of technology. I also have a lot of questions. Are jiang and hanalei rin’s parents? what is the womb frying juice from book 1 and is it available today? oh another thought: i thought rin’s descent into madness starting with the venka spiral was so fast? I thought it would be more gradual.
