5.0

Despite the fact that sometimes I thought the book was too much focused on explaining war strategies, which turned out to be boring, the story as a whole is very interesting and it kept me reading non stop. The end of the second part is kind of gore, I had to stop to breathe otherwise I’d have thrown up. I still haven’t decided if I like Rin or not, she is so smart but some times she makes some stupid decisions (but she’s only 18, so I’ll give her a break).
