I loved the book from start until the last like 20 pages. I know it’s kind of the point throughout Rin’s maturation to realize what the world really is like but I’m disappointed in her decisions and her coping mechanisms which she explicitly said several times throughout the story that she would not succumb to. The ending gave Denaerys Targaryen in the worst way possible. Still one of my favorite reads of the year though 😇
