Rin. Rin. Rin. Rin. She is both a joy to follow and madly infuriating. I found myself questioning her choices and the possible ramifications repeatedly. But, boy does this book take you on a ride and the ending is a chef's kiss. There is so much that happens, but when I reflect back on the ride, it's a dark, tense, fun, exhilarating ride filled with laughs, lows, twists and turns and heartbreaking moments. I can't wait to see how this series concludes!
