I liked this one even better than Six of Crows.  I was hooked from the beginning, the middle was action-packed, and the ending was satisfying without giving everything away.  Not in an “up for interpretation” sense, but more like a “leaving things open for potential future stories” sense.  Also great for fanfiction.  I love the characters in this duology and the nods to other Grishaverse characters.

Again, I freaking love the crows. This book hurt my feelings and gave me the warm fuzzies at the same time. The netflix show does not do this justice, I promise you. All of the character arcs work together really well and you can tell that all of the characters are growing and learning from each other. Not sure why

they had to kill off Matthias

, but it did make Nina an even stronger character in the later books.
