One thing that I always really like about this duology in particular is that there are a lot of narrators, but they all have distinct voices and they don't blend together like other books with multiple narrators. Plus, Bardugo is just great at writing characters in general!
-----
Watching Shadow and Bone made me want to re-listen to this, so here we are! This duology is still my favorite at the moment, I just like the characters in this better than the original trilogy. I just got King of Scars, so I can't wait to continue!
---
Re-listened to this because I never read the second book and I didn't remember a lot of the details from this one. Just as good. He second time, and I loved all the narrators! They brought so much to all the characters. Now, onto Crooked Kingdom!
