The ending kind of got spoiled for me when I was researching the Opium War, the 2 Sino-Japanese Wars, and the Chinese Civil War, buuuuut I still want to finish this and see how everything else pans out. I’ve found I’ve related less to Rin once the war came; I find her frustrating and confusing to read.

“Rin had been living so long on the extractive capabilities of the empire she fought for, she’d never learned to forage for herself.”

Rin is so focused on trying to assert her authority that she’s focused on the wrong things. Where’s her poker face? The key is to let your enemies and frenemies think they’ve seen your hand while playing your real cards close to your chest.

Damn who can she trust aside from Kitay? I don’t trust Gurubai, Souji, or Zhuden at all. One or all of them are going to betray her.

This is the type of energy she needed to bring to Altan and Nezha and Vaisra. I’m glad she’s letting that anger out with intent.
