this book is not morally grey in the slightest. it’s morally black. we see rin’s background and upbringing which almost allows us to sympathize with her actions. then boom. my girl is fueled by this need for revenge. but she can’t help it. she’s just a girl, from a people of revenge seekers. so so detailed. especially chapter 21, made me SICK. ten out of ten read tho.
