This!! book!! I love this book!! The highlight of this book for me was just the world-building. I'm glad I read the Shadow and Bone trilogy first to get an understanding of the world and magic system, but this book adds an element of international and inter-ethnic tensions between the Ravkans, Kerch, Fjerdans, Shu which was just amazing. Bardugo just writes so well, I loved how we weaved between the different characters and the past and the present but did so in a way that was very comprehensible. I was rarely lost while reading this book, which is such a feat because the plot was complex! The characters were amazing, the romance was soooo subtle which I loved, just all in all a fantastic read.
