Wow. War is an unspeakable ugly thing. Runin Fang is the epitome of feminine rage. Her ruthlessness and grit to keep pushing and keep going really speak to it. I am in awe of Runin and Venka that rose from the grave they were thrown into. 

This book has made me cringe in disgust at the acts of pure cruelty that is done.  It really demonstrates the atrocities humans at war are capable of committing, very real crimes that people today are currently committing and have committed. 

I’m curious to see if Rin does raise an army of shamans.
