adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

PAIN!! I cannot. I physically cannot. 

I am an official Fang Runin apologist. Everyone who betrayed her… ya MOTHER!!!! I love that she is less bratty in this book, it shows that she has aged. Kitay you are everything to me. Once again this world does not deserve you.

- Hot Take: I might have liked this book even better than the first.
- The real villain was the friends we made a long the way (lykyk).
- This book has it all, backstabbing, trust, love, tension, twists, crutelty, and "democracy".
- Rin kills one white rapist (and obviously many more) and she’s the bad guy?? I think not.
