After speeding through the rest of the Grishaverse and finally making my way to this amazing novel, I can genuinely say I was not disappointed.
After the absolute cliffhanger that King Of Scars ended on, starting this book was no trouble at all, and for me it was fast-paced and brimming with an extraordinary plot.
I adored watching Nina and Hanne’s relationship grow throughout this book, something I didn’t expect but also didn’t know I absolutely needed.
Another thing I loved was both Zoya and Nikolai’s character development, both coming to terms with their power.
One thing I loved was the appearance of a few certain characters, and the ending of this novel. I love how the option is open for Bardugo to write another book in the series, but at the same time, is left feeling complete.
The one book I haven’t read in the Grishaverse yet is Lives of Saints, and although I don’t deem it necessary, I still feel like it may have added a little more to the story for me, particularly with how this duology deals with the idea of Saints.
As this is the last novel Bardugo has written thus far for the Grishaverse, I can only hope that we’ll be graced with another one soon, because I cannot bear to leave this universe just yet.

Mayu, Ehri und ihre Schwester fand ich als Charaktere super spannend.
Außerdem bin ich ein riesiger Zoya-Fan
Ein würdiger Abschluss für das Grishaverse.

This book seemed to be a culmination of different Grisha books. I loved getting to see these characters all come together in such a fantastic way.
I’m a little schooled though because I came in expecting this to be the end, but I should have known that this world is probably never going to end. I’m going to need the next book pronto after that cliffhanger.
Overall, this was a fantastic addition to the Grishaverse.
