UM SO IM NOT OKAY. Truly this series was just corruption v redemption v corruption again. Emotional turmoil being thrown into loving and hating every single character and there being no good outcomes. Also the amount of war and graphic scenes were mildly unbearable BUT shit got so wild I couldn’t stop. Objectively, really masterful world building and commentary.
