My mind is REELING!! reading this book was like someone putting me on a rollercoaster with no seatbelt and a blindfold. The blend of fantasy and and inspiration from the Sino Japanese war was ingenious. It starts like a fun adventure YA then turns into grim dark fantasy then it turns into complete and utter fuckery Everyone talks abt how fucked up rin is But does anyone talk abt how this book fucked me up ?  Absolutely batshit crazy 

(If you have any triggers they’re in this book)
