The Burning God by R.F. Kuang
I'm glad that is done. Seriously considered not even reading the final book in the trilogy. In every other chapter, someone betrays Rin. Rin is placed in charge of the Army but never shows that she should be in charge of the army. There are far more qualified people around her. I never quite understood how her power work. She does terrible things and feels some guilt but does things for the greater good. But there never is a greater good. I guess the lesson is in a war there are no winners. Fine. I need someone to show or tell me how these books are worthy of two Hugo Awards.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
