Best book I've ever read. It absolutely broke my heart, but it's just incredible.
Rin is so loveable (most of the time), and I love all the characters. Jiang is probably my favourite? He's hilarious. Kitay and I have a complicated relationship, I understand how he feels (at the end of the book I mean), but at the same time, I adore Rin. 
Anyways, the book is so well written. It made me cry and laugh and question my morals.
