That being said, I really loved most aspects of Nina's storyline. It felt true to character, the pacing was good, and I loved the story.

This book has a slow start (similar to shadow and bone and six of crows) since this is multiple POV book and not only that but there are also multiple plots
The slow build ends up being really nice since you really get an understanding of the plot and each of the characters are well fleshed out for me.
Overall I just love Leigh Bardugo's imagery, the horrible horrible things that happens within this book
Overall, I really enjoyed being back in the grishaverse and who doesn't love a whole books worth of Nikolai-wit.
