Wow. WOW. This was insane the worldbuilding the lore the HISTORY???? It's insane how fully fleshed out this book was AND AS A DEBUT???? I love love love Rins character and the arc she goes through and the absolute SHIT she goes through!! It's so cool to see a character that you're rooting for make bad decisions /srs!!! A lotttt of the war stuff reminds me of modern day current events too, and made me reflect a lot on the world rn. I could definitely see the Chinese/japanese/general east asia Influence in the culture which was so cool but also I loved that this world was still fully its own. Like if I didn't know about east asia I would still see this as a beautiful world with its own history and stuff but it's cool to understand the undertones and Influences too. Can't wait to read the next oneeeee

I cried and sobbed and threw up this book changed my perspective on so many things and it was so nice to see something that I feel as a trans person shown in just a completely normal way. It felt like representation even tho it wasn't?? And I love that. Shout out to Mrs. Miska for making me read this I love you queen
