I really admire how beautifully Fonda Lee wrote this trilogy. The story spans almost 3 decades long, it flows so seamlessly and I find this way more satisfying and deep than the usual 1-2 years long conflict. Kaul Hilo is one of the best written character in my opinion, his character development was beautifully written. I started disliking him and now he's one of my favourites. Along with Kaul Shae, who's strenght is not brute and violence but a quiet strenght on its own.
