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.

I knew the damn Hesperians were bad the minute they came sailing in on their ship with their fucking guns all high a mighty. One could hope for once white colonizing bastards refrain from taking another country for the “better good”. But that shows how realistic it all was, how Rin and all of Nikra were fighting the wrong enemy. Snakes can hide anywhere and it was Daji. Honestly when she offered the alliance in the beginning with Rin I thought I’d be a good idea and it WAS!!!Spoiler
Nezha is a two faced bitch. Off to the next book 🫶🏻 just found out I can use emojisGraphic: Drug use, Fire/Fire injury, Gore, Gun violence, Violence, War, Addiction, Rape, and Colonisation
