I do think other than the very beginning and very end, this was my least favorite of the 3 books. At times it did feel like 90% of the story was just the army marching, running low on supplies, marching, fighting, marching. And I know that’s not true because so many things did happen!
Edit: I used my brain and realize now that was the point, this book/series was like looking at a slow motion train wreck, RF Kuang is very good at what she does

Well I agree! This entire series ripped my heart, brain and soul apart and then tried to plaster the pieces back together. If you can’t stand frustration, hard-emotional-breakdowns as well as anger, disappointment and disgust all at once don’t pick up this series. If you can, I’ll gladly welcome you to this new chapter of your life. I promise you’ll be a different person after reading this!
