citymouse's review against another edition
3.0
Nina deserves to have her own series and her story entwined with Nikolai makes quite literally no sense. The book was good, but I would have preferred to see them as individual books rather than alternating between stories many lands apart.

Better than Shadow and Bone, but not as good as Six of Crows. I'm glad Leigh stuck with the multiple perspectives set up, as I much prefer it. However I will say that one of the storylines was much less interesting than the other ones, at least for me.
