Review 1 of 2
LovedI think my the biggest difference is that in my reread this was a little less fun for me because I felt like it was such a wartime book I'm not that interested and being on the battlefield in scene for many chapters yeah it is an excellent conclusion
Lovedthis is probably my favorite conclusion to a Trilogy I've ever read obviously I am very swayed by my emotions when it comes to whether I like a book or not and this one like had me crying for like seven straight chapters it was that heartbreaking
Lovedthis is the final book a part of the Winner's curse Trilogy by Marie rowski which is one of my all-time favorite trilogies so obviously I had to put this on the list I gave this a five of five stars I would highly recommend this Trilogy
LovedI had to choose this book because it was the finale in a trilogy that I love so much it is one of my favorite fantasy trilogies ever

R. F. KuangA brilliantly imaginative talent makes her exciting debut with this epic historical military fantasy, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic, in the tradition of Ken Liu’s Grace of Kings and N.K. Jemisin’s Inheritance Trilogy.
When Rin aced the Keju—the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies—it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard—the most elite military school in Nikan—was even more surprising.
But surprises aren’t always good.
Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color, poverty, and gender, Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly power—an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive—and that mastering control over those powers could mean more than just surviving school.
For while the Nikara Empire is at peace, the Federation of Mugen still lurks across a narrow sea. The militarily advanced Federation occupied Nikan for decades after the First Poppy War, and only barely lost the continent in the Second. And while most of the people are complacent to go about their lives, a few are aware that a Third Poppy War is just a spark away . . .
Rin’s shamanic powers may be the only way to save her people. But as she finds out more about the god that has chosen her, the vengeful Phoenix, she fears that winning the war may cost her humanity . . . and that it may already be too late.
