the .5 was deducted for lack of action until the last third of the book.
but to be fair some parts were so freaking good like when they went with changhan and qara, and those few pages of them drunk and happy.
my favorite quote was:
"Rin was so tired of having to prove her humanity."

Rin is frustratingly rash and impulsive, but there are consequences for her actions every time (even when I might expect another book to let her off easy). She’s the main character, but is not a hero. I like that.
