This book was the most challenging for me in that I was getting so exhausted by the warfare that I want a break for me and our characters. There was very little reprieve from the devastation and I desperately clung to every last shred of Rin’s dwindling good sense.  A truly impressive trilogy- gut wrenching, complex, unique, and enthralling. As much as I wanted to war to end I was sorry to leave the characters at the end.
