Actual rating 4.5! I thought this series couldn't possibly get bloodier or more ruthless, and clearly I was mistaken. This story does not hold back in its violence, especially with one of my favourite characters. That's actually why I knocked it down just a peg, since I don't yet see a reason for the character to endure what she did. Be aware that this book delves into sexual assault.
With that said, there were great moments and storylines within this book. Rin's determination and endurance in the wilds left me rooting for her. Hyakurin's tragic backstory came to light and added to an even sadder, and darker storyline. I can only hope that she will return stronger and fiercer than ever. Magatsu's return was one of the highlights. His time with Manji and their banter actually brought some much needed levity to the dark storylines.
I honestly loved almost every story. Learning more about new and old characters always thrilled me, and the action scenes were even more brutal than I imagined. This is definitely not a story for anyone unprepared for seriously graphic content. But the stories and dialogue are rewarding and beautiful. I can't wait to see what happens next, and see how makes it out alive!

I continue to adore every page of Blade of the Immortal. It’s so captivating, intense, and beautifully drawn. This story has so many layers and paths, that I find myself wondering about it long after I have left the last page.

TW: Rape, torture
Yeah, I'm gonna stop here. Made it halfway through, got to the scenes where a female character was being tortured/raped, then skimmed the rest. Just not for me.
