"I am the force of creation. I am the end and the beginning. The world is a painting and I hold the brush. I am a god." 

There are no words out there that could portray all that I am feelina right now. I knew what I was getting into before starting this trilogy, but it doesn't hurt any less. 

This won't be a long review. I couldn't be reviewing it objectively, it's too close to my heart to do so, so I won't even try. I can acknowledge that the pacing was not the best (in the last 100 pagers especially, the last 2 chapters were brilliant but so sudden) and that I wish the book could've had multiple POVs so we can see different sides of war and reactions to Rin's actions-but a book that that made me cry doesn't deserve anything less than 5 stars. 

Fang Runin, Chen Kitay. Yin Nezha it will be hard forgetting you.
