This series is so complex and so much goes on that it can feel really overwhelming and really slow. But it’s incredible how much detail and lore and backstory there is. < spoiler> I am so cut that almost all the Cike got killed off. Like c’mon did we really need to kill Baji and Ramsan 😠😭. But yeah listening on audio was really good bc I learnt how to pronounce the characters names but damn. It was just so long. It’s cool how she can fly now but I’m so scared for Kitty I hope Rin dies tbh and they split the bond so Kitay can be free. Also wtf Nezha really backstabbed her at the end   I don’t really like Rin but I thought he was good rip  There’s just so much war and death and darkness in these books. It can be a bit too much sometimes
