I'm starting to get why this is also in the cozy fantasy quest. It's definitely dark and definitely gothic horror but at the same time it is somehow also cozy. It doesn't sound like it should work together but it somehow toes the line between the gothic and the cozy perfectly and I love it!

Ohhh, I never knew just a few pages could break me so thoroughly, but this has done it and then some, especially that final little paragraph.
I'm torn between when the best time to read this truly is in terms of optimal heartbreak: after chapter 5 of The Burning God, before chapter 9, or at the end of the book. All delicious options and all have a slightly different flavor of poignancy when it comes to that last line.

This whole series has had my heart from the moment I first picked it up about three weeks ago. The characters all have so much depth and are so perfectly morally gray that it's hard at times to decide just who it is I'm rooting for, especially when it comes to Rin. This book perfectly captures her decent into paranoia and madness from the beginning in a way that makes it feel like the only inevitable conclusion her journey could have had. Not only that, but I am absolutely in awe of the world RF Kuang has created. Not many series that involve war really show you the effects it has on the people from the famine to the dissent to the utter anger and desperation for revenge on those who have wronged them, and I have to say that her inclusion of these scenes just drove home the ending that much more.
