Nikolai Lantsov is the Aelin of the Grishaverse and I stand by that. He‘s also just abnormally hot and I‘d totally be invested in his friendship with Alina. Mal needs to get his shit together. Alina better learns how to properly communicate. She‘s a baddie and I love her tho. If the next book doesn’t have a happy ending, I will cry and refuse to pick up Six of Crows. Also, I really hope Alina gets her power back.

Leigh Bardugo, you’re a master of words (and fantasy).

The plot is much more interesting than the first book, but honestly I can't sympathize with Alina no matter how hard I try, and as she's the one telling the story it's torture to listen to her rationalizing her stupid-ass decisions and how "everyone at this farmer's market palace wants me carnally". She kept rationalizing all of her dumb decisions, deciding they were dumb and going through with them anyway... ugh.
At one point I honestly just stayed for Nikolai, as Alina and Mal seemed to have given all of their braincells to him, the one person with a functioning neural network
