Jesus. While I found Rin to be a pity party in the first half, I was completely unprepared to swept away by the second half of this book. There were so many moments that on retrospect were obvious, but while I was in the thick of it I could not see coming. Ready to devour The Burning God like the Phoenix has taught me!!
