The Burning God by R.F. Kuang

5.0

i....i need a moment. the ending killed me, but when i think about it, i don't think it could have ended any other way. kuang is so smart and i admire her so much for this book and this series. all of these characters and their struggles are visceral, and readers aren't spared the horror of this war. it's ugly and real. rin is such a great protagonist, and her conflicts with kitay, nezha, venka, and everyone are so amazing. the writing is amazing, the characters and plot are indescribably real, and the research and love that went in to this are evident.
