THIS WAS SO GOOD AND HEARTBREAKING AS ALWAYS.
Again a whole lot of politics, something I know people may dislike, because it makes this book lengthy, but I think it fit perfectly.
Great expansion of the world building.
I'm just afraid of what's going to happen next.
Loved Rins characterization, especially the slow deterioration of her psyche. Great representation of panic attacks, I could literally feel her spiraling.
The Hesperians.
Their beliefs were just scary and painfully familiar.
And all the other Characters were great too. Especially Kitay.
