I wish I'd read the trigger warnings, because I was absolutely not prepared for how dark this book turned.
I also got a bit fed up with just how many times Rin either passes out, is knocked out, or is hit on the head and subsequently dazed. It got so frequent, I'm surprised she didn't have permanent damage by the end of the book.
But otherwise a fantastic read, can't wait for the next one!
