Fantastic sequel! I loved the progression of Rin's trauma and dependency (to various outlets)! I admire how unashamed how these brutal war scenes are shown, and how the characters are both numb and sympathetic towards it. The ending had me in a chokehold haha! Definitely wasn't expecting that turn (in hindsight I should've lol) but yes, will come back for more especially after that ending. Can't wait to read the last book!
