The Burning God

to be honest, this one dimmed my love and excitement for this series because how much it dragged on. how i had to read 800? pages just to get that ending. i understand it, i get why rin did it, but i think it wasnt fair. it wasnt fair to kitay, it wasnt fair to herself.

there was so little nezha, unlike in the first two books, and the yearning we were given. i understand that this series is basically about war, but i also wanted to read about war more from nezha's side and him being around rin more?

also, the hype surrounding the trifecta and suddenly they just die? like that? there is no fight? riga is supposed to be this big bad wold and rin just kills him? what the fuck was all that for?

i did love the moments when venka, rin and kitay plotted together. i loved their friendship. even in the second book, with nezha around.

for some reason, i was heavily attracted to jiang in this one. him using words of endearment like darling and dear for daji made me quiver and melt?!?! idk why the fuck was that happening

when jiang and rin meet each other for the first time since he locked himseld up
when he comes between riga and rin to prevent riga from killing rin
when she builds a grave-like stone whatever in memory of jiang but also calls him a coward
when nezha tells kitay that he knows rin is not dead...
i didnt tear up like i thought i would, but thats fine. reading jade legacy after this did it for me
