Is it wrong that Nikolai is my favorite character now? Because if that’s wrong I don’t want to be right. He brings so much life to the dialogue and I love his banter with Alina and even Mal. He’s such a refreshing personality at a point in this series when things are looking pretty bleak. 
Also, my crush on the Darkling is alive and well and I still for horrible about it. I have a feeling that the direction this is going for him is going to devastate me.

Definitely a filler book, but I liked the ending. It made sense and set up a good direction for book 3.
Mal was so annoying. He went from being completely oblivious to Alina in book 1 to feeling entitled to her. His moping and drinking just need to stop.
Nikolai was... Okay. I think yall hyped him up too much and I was disappointed lol. I'm still excited to learn more about him in King of Scars, especially since Leigh's writing has improved.
I wish the Darkling was more present. He sucks, but at least he's interesting.

Wauw, wat heb ik genoten van dit boek. Het was zo meeslepend en het einde. Dat verwachtte ik dus totaal niet!!! Wat hou ik toch van Leigh Bardugo haar manier van schrijven. Ze sleept me echt mee in het verhaal en in de wereld. Dit boek was echt top en ik kan niet wachten op het laatste deel te lezen en te zien waar het verhaal naar toe gaat. Want ik zou het op dit moment echt niet weten.

This was an exciting read. It was too great a gap between when I read the first book and this one. 

I found myself seriously confused about the plot and dynamic between characters. However I still found the book to be gripping and very readable. The world building was good too. 

I am still going to continue and read book 3 next.
