Glad I gave this book a second go, because it is actually quite interesting! I like how it doesn't shy away from unfavorable portrayals, and apologetically covers the dark side of blind patriotism; particularly it's insidious presence in oppressive systems. Watching Rin's growth has been fascinating and it's rare that a fantasy doesn't have me knowing what to expect.
