Oh. My. Goodness
This book has left me speechless. First, the world created was much different than most fantasy books and that was really refreshing. The author went to great detail to create a diverse set of characters that influence the character in different ways. I also love that the author remains neutral on the main character’s perspective; rin is not good or bad and Kuang doesn’t try to convince you that she is one or the other.
At times I would get lost in the military strategy/lingo but other than that I LOOOVED this book!
