Worldbuilding:
As I don’t have any experience with the Grisha universe outside of „Six of Crows“, I can’t really say much about the worldbuilding in general. I think it’s sufficient and fitting for this story and much mystery remains to be explored in the second part. However, the introduction into the topics and concepts in the beginning is a bit lacking for new readers.
Characters:
This might be the biggest issue I have with the book. While I especially like Kaz, Inej and Jesper as characters, their backstories, motivations and their appearances, some characters strongly irk me.
Plot:
I like the plot, it’s easy to follow most times and wraps up nicely in the end and leaves room for the sequel.
Sometimes the pacing is a bit funky, especially in the middle part where many suspenseful arcs are interrupted by an annoying flashback.
Tldr:
It’s a good story, not showstoppingly great. Points get docked for characters and pacing.
Moderate: Gun violence and Violence
