5.0

This book… this series emotionally wrecked me. I was worried it wouldn’t live up to the hype. I had heard that this book wasn’t as good as the others in the series but this book was still amazing. I’m reeling from the shock of the ending. I finally got the character development from Rin that I was looking for and now it’s over.

This is the second book series that has ever given me a book hangover. 😭

An immersive, clever, and heartbreaking conclusion to a brilliant series. I love Rin and Kitay. I can’t wait to see what Kuang does next.

I knew R.F. Kuang wasn't going to be nice.  But I really, really hated the ending.  And not only because a couple of the plot twists at the end were predictable.  I literally had anxiety reading the last couple of chapters because I could tell where they were going and I hated it.

This sounds like a negative review.  It's not.  For a book to get me to react this strongly to it, it has to have really meant something to me.  This series is incredible, easily one of the best I've read.  I just don't know if I can bear to reread it.

I'm just so mad that Rin hated Kitay at the end.  He was always my favourite, I loved them together, and SHE was wrong.  I really wish she didn't lose it at the end.

Explicit, detailed depictions of violent Western colonialism. Moderately-detailed depictions of

missionaries coercing/forcing people to convert to fantasy!Christianity.

Moderately-detailed mentions of human experimentation.
