Much of the novel finds Rin leading her new, disadvantaged army to both unite and to free her country. I am not the type of person that finds military strategy interesting, so I think that was the main reason I was utterly bored by most of The Burning God. “You didn’t liberate Tikany, you occupied a graveyard.” But I am so glad I made it through T he Burning God, despite being bored by Rin’s usual poor decision-making and countless military battles because I freaking loved the ending, which made everything worthwhile. I had so much trouble making any progress through this novel, despite liking its predecessors, The Poppy War and The Dragon Republic. I’m not going to lie, The Burning God took me weeks to read-longer than any other novel this year. As her power and influence grows, though, will she be strong enough to resist the Phoenix’s intoxicating voice urging her to burn the world and everything in it? While her new allies in the Southern Coalition leadership are sly and untrustworthy, Rin quickly realizes that the real power in Nikan lies with the millions of common people who thirst for vengeance and revere her as a goddess of salvation.īacked by the masses and her Southern Army, Rin will use every weapon to defeat the Dragon Republic, the colonizing Hesperians, and all who threaten the shamanic arts and their practitioners.


Returning to her roots, Rin meets difficult challenges-and unexpected opportunities.
