NON SPOILER REVIEW

The story of very flawed, emotional and not yet mature protagonist Rin is getting climax in the finale of series. From very first book we are captivated by very diverse and not mature and crystalized characters, page-turning story, so fast at some points we are unable to get with the pace events, however the character building of Rin, all the situation the author put her in to present the process of formation of personality.

From book to book we were following events building up the characters of protagonists.
