Rin. Rin. Rin. Rin. I followed Rin through 3 books and this one brings everything full circle. If you've followed Rin's adventure since the Poppy Wars then you've followed her journey from young girl refusing to be an arranged bride to the general of her own army. A fitting end to the trilogy. You get to see how war affects everything and everyone and how the people involved make their decisons based on what war presents. I was shocked to learn that R. F. Kuang was super young when she started thid series, but she did a masterful job with it. I'll definitely revisit this series again.
