Picking this up felt like returning to old friends. Rin is a fantastic protagonist and her development in this is perfect. I enjoyed the internal conflict that she goes through and her anti hero qualities. 

The pacing in this just right and I just didn't want it to end. I can't say much more without giving spoilers but those last 40 pages were 😱 and I am still not over that twist!
