not five stars because nina's story doesn't really connect with nikolai and zoya's. it just feels like two books smashed together, and even though i was interested in both, the cuts were annoying. i didn't want to put nikolai's story down nor nina's once i got back into it, but together they were disconnected. it doesn't help that nikolai's story branches into two later and the three stories just get in each other's way.
nina is bi

I found that, as much as I loved Nina in Six of Crows, I didn't really care about her story line other than for the references to Matthias, Jesper, Kaz and the rest of the SoC gang.
Then there's
"You are strong enough to survive the fall."
"You are not protecting yourself by shutting yourself off from the world. You are limiting yourself."
And let me point out our beloved king Nikolai. I feel like his character was basically used to make Zoya more likeable and give the rest of the crew at the palace something to do (which I didn't really care much about either). He was a side character in his own book. I was expecting the awesomeness of the Nikolai we met in Siege and Storm, the Nikolai who charmed us all into loving him, but here he was kind of... dull? As dull as Nikolai can get, that is.
Although I did find this book was kind of slow at the beginning, I was happy to see all the crew back together again. I loved the dynamics between them, seeing how they have become a family, especially the friendship between Genya and Zoya, and I really really really hope Nikolai and Zoya will realize they are perfect for each other and actually dare to act on it. That's basically all I care about, I honestly don't care about
