This book made me feel more than any book has made me feel in a long time. The idea of the book is amazing and the execution is perfect. I loved the writing style.

Can confirm, the hype is real. This was sooo good!! I loved the world building and the story; Alina is such a relatable character, I felt so much for her. My absolute favourite scene of the book has to be

right before Mal and Alina find Morozova's stag. Ugh, all the feels!
"I'm sorry it took me so long to see you, Alina. But I see you now."
My little heart just cannot...

. I really liked how Alina realised what exactly she's capable of doing and I'm excited to see how her story continues.
