Lots of unanswered questions and loose ends. And a sucker punch to the gut at the end that wasn’t necessary. Great writing, amazing characters.
I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!! We got more depth and development for the crows, saw some shadow and bone characters, and really, the whole experience had me on the edge of my seat. I’m really sad to leave these characters behind (at least until I read King of Scars), but I couldn’t think of a more fitting ending for this duology.
No mourners, No funerals.

Reread 4/24/21: This was just as fun in the reread as I remembered it! Leigh Bardugo definitely ups the stakes in this book and her characters are just as clever and fun to root for as ever. I reread this book via audiobook and I'd highly recommend them. Just like the first one, each character's chapter was narrated by a different narrator, which made it a very immersive experience.
I think overall I liked this book a little bit less than I liked the first one, but still a phenomenal read. I appreciated the growth the characters experienced in the first book carried over and continued into this book and I appreciated that small details from the first book came back around to be relevant in this one. It just goes to show that Leigh Bardugo is a very smart writer!
