I spent the entire book thinking “Fang Runin is the stupidest person alive she has never made a single good decision in her life, who knows what critical thinking is? Not Rin” so why am I crying at the end 😭 I knew it was coming but I’m still sad

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
