The amount of different emotions I experienced reading this silly lil children's book is astounding. Like tell me why I was on the brink of tears when Alina and Mal were in the dungeon? Tell me why I nearly threw the book when the Darkling started his shenanigans? Tell me why my jaw hit the floor when Genya warned Alina to be careful of powerful men?

I genuinely don't think I can give a real review of this book because I am simply experiencing every emotion listed in the English dictionary. All that I can say is that I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I cannot wait to pick up the next one. I'm actually so upset that I got a job in the middle of reading this so I couldn't finish it sooner.

I loved this story! I watched the Netflix show before starting and I’m glad I did - seeing all the differences was so interesting. 
Overall I’m obsessed with this world and the characters, especially Mal and Alina and their relationship. It’s not a perfect book but it’s very enjoyable and you should give it a chance if you plan on reading six of crows later for a good understanding of the world. 
Can’t wait to continue with this series and all the sequel books!!
