I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I thought it was good, but I don't know that I plan to continue on with the series. It would have been hard for me to summarize, but reading over the blurb on Goodreads, well ... that's what it was about. I don't know that I every really connected with the characters or what was going on. I think this is one I would have enjoyed a lot more in my younger years, when fantasy and action appealed to me more. Now, I think my old brain struggles a bit to keep up with it all. 

I did stop and make some notes and highlights, little "profound statements" or things that would be good topics of discussion in a book club.  LOTS of quotes saved on Goodreads. 

There were three PARTS with chronological chapters (26 of them) running throughout the 500+ pages. I can't recall if there was a distinct separation to the parts? Rin's early life and school, then war, then ... the end? Third person (mostly Rin's POV), past tense. 

I have to say I really like the consistency of the covers for the trilogy (+). 

I had this in all three formats. Picked up the physical book in a Little Free Library, and then borrowed the audio and Kindle copy from the library. I went primarily with audio, but was glad to have the Kindle to re-read portions and highlight and make notes.

Some proFanity (36). Lots of violence. There was the "let out a breath she hadn't known she was holding" (phrase that has been mocked in FB circles). Other words I notice: riffling, arcane, cerulean, swath, deign, cacophony, careen
