I wasn’t really sure about the hype surrounding these characters after finishing Six of Crows. But this book sealed the deal for me. I love them, too, and the way their stories meet and diverge, the way they have their own goals and their own drive, the way they support one another (or not), and the ways in which their dynamics can change based on who they interact with. Was the plot great? It was fun. Did Kaz save the day just a time too many with a barely believable plan? Maybe. But I don’t mind.

NADIE ME DIJO QUE IBA A LLORAR CON ESTE LIBRO MALDITA SEA

Amo con todo mi corazón a cada uno de los personajes, Leigh hiso un excelente trabajo escribiendolos, todos tienen una historia ni uno se siente como un extra y de verdad te encariñas con todos (obvio mi favorito es Kaz) 

"There's no time to constantly be apologizing for existing" 

Está secuela me gustó muchísimo más que el primero por qué siento que se desarrolló mucho más la dinámica de todos como grupo, lo acabo de terminar y ya los extraño 

"She had chosen to live freely as a killer rather than die as a slave" 

Y como desarrollo todos los romances UFFFFF, tengo a mi pareja favorita y no es la obvia,te amo Leigh bardugo aunque me hayas hecho llorar en las últimas 40pgs 

"No mourners
No funerals"
