I was so done with Rin in this book. She became this whiny little b***h seeking validation and was overly obsessed with Altan. They weren’t even that close and the AH slapped her that one time, like tell me why all of sudden she’s determined to honor his memory? Also, aren’t we supposed to be developing her character? Why does she feel underdeveloped? This is the SECOND BOOK!!!! I was expecting her to be way more badass. Make it make sense!
