4.0

It was better than shadow and bone ,but it was very long full of world building , politics ,etc. It started as a fast paced and then it got to slow paced. The end was intense and epic but it's not worth that much. Over all i enjoyed the book but it took to long to finish.

4.5

Overall great book, but I still preferred the first one. It was very slow at first, but it really picked up towards the end. Honestly, I was not expecting that many character deaths. Some of those were a but out of pocket. However, I was really excited to meet many characters and grow some old ones. I particularly loved Tamar and Nikolai. Although I wasn’t particularly fond of Zoya, I still appreciated how Bardugo developed her character in this book. I’m excited for what is to come in the next book as I am still very much in love with the world and NIKOLAI LANTSOV. Additionally, I really appreciated the bonus Genya chapter because she was always one of my favorite characters from book 1.

5.0

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).
