La verdad es que este libro me salvo, por asi decirlo, me saco de un bloqueo lector tremendo, todo lo que empezaba o intentaba no podia terminarlo, pero este libro lo termine sin ningun problema, y me gusto, no puedo decir que me encanto por que hubo algunas cosas que no me gustaron...
............SPOILERS.......
En cuanto a los personajes ahora puedo decir que el personaje que ame fue Mal, porque demostro cuanto quiere a Alina, todo el libro me la pase sufriendi junto a el, se que el lo disimulaba bastante, pero imaginense como debio sentirse cuando veia a Alina con Nikolai, adrmas dr que daba todo ppr ella, hasta su vida!! Si ese no es amor verdader que es? ....ame tanto a mal pero al final tuvo su recomensa, despues de haber sufrido tanto por esta chica
Alina no se que decir de ella, siento que no conecte del todo con ella, si lo admito me gusto el personaje, es una chica fuerte y que busca el bien para todos, se preocupa por sus amigos y siempre quiere ayudarlos, pero hubo un algo que no se exactamente que fue que hiso que no me encantara, ademas odie que estuviera de aqui y haya con Nikolai y con Mal, me refiero, en otros libros tenia un no se si romance pero un algo con Mal, pero despues con Nikolai hasta se hiban a casar, bueno lo estaba pensando

"You should know by now, an orphan has no home".
Throughout the Grishaverse, we see a whole culture with tales, some written as another book or some just told in a few lines. I've only seen a few books do that —tell the stories, the myths, the legends in a culture where it's either completely fictional or it's real.
We see Alina evolve, and that might be my favorite part of the Shadow and bone trilogy, as Sankta Alina, as the people call her. She gets stronger, more solemn, she has more confidence in herself and what she's capable of.
I took my time with this one, though it felt like it took me years to read and I say this in a good way, it was like I lived inside the book. I am enamoured by Leigh Bardugo's pen.

tbh the only reason i read this book was bc i wanted to finish the series so i could read six of crows 😭
i really like leigh bardugo’s writing and i came across a LOT of quotable lines throughout the book, but the only characters i actually cared for were mal and nikolai (maybe misha). other than that i would’ve NEVER gotten through this book. i didn’t even care what happened to the plot a lot of the times
although i do like the ending, i have to rate this 2.75 stars ⭐️ probably won’t ever think abt this book again after this series 😭 SORRYYY

The trilogy did have a lot of flaws and till the end I couldn't really stand Mal, however especially the side characters were really interesting thus making me want to constantly pick up the book.
I'm excited for what's to come for my beloved Nikolai, Genya and Zoya<3
