This book has a slow start (similar to shadow and bone and six of crows) since this is multiple POV book and not only that but there are also multiple plots
The slow build ends up being really nice since you really get an understanding of the plot and each of the characters are well fleshed out for me.
Overall I just love Leigh Bardugo's imagery, the horrible horrible things that happens within this book
Overall, I really enjoyed being back in the grishaverse and who doesn't love a whole books worth of Nikolai-wit.

"Most of us can hide our greatest hurts and longings. It’s how we survive each day. We pretend the pain isn’t there, that we are made of scars instead of wounds."
I really ended up enjoying this book! It was nice to see where all the characters ended up after Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows. The only thing is that this book felt a bit slow in parts and Nina's plot was disconnected from Zoya and Nikolai's plot. All the six of crows references made me so happy though. AND THAT ENDING. OH MY GOSH. That ending was so surprising.
