This was thrilling and twisty and unexpectedly hilarious! 

This book hooked me back into the world of fantasy and it made me fall in love with all of these characters.

Could not stop highlighting adorably, tragically romantic quotes all throughout… and jokes. 

Will definitely be reading crooked kingdom too!🖤

The Dutch (inspired) names and history were something to get used to - they deterred me because really, it felt a bit cringey. But I am glad I pushed on! Because Leigh Bardugo created a whirlwind of a story, in a wonderful world with characters that relate well to each other and all have their own twists, thoughts, and story. Great use of flashbacks and different POVs which kept the plot moving at great speed - although it was sometimes a bit too rushed and it is a bit uncertain how old the cast are supposed to be.
