While there are many things to like about the book, there were a few things that didn't make it quite perfect. I wanted more:
* Grisha lore;
* location descriptions;
* and connection with the prologue and epilogue.
While not perfect, I couldn't put the book down and I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

However, due to the authorās recent lack of solidarity and dismissal of genocide, I will not be continuing her books at this time.

The worldbuilding and lore are starting off great, but the way its presented just isn't it. The story just doesn't have the cast to back it up. It feels hollow.
Also it was personally horribly triggering to me because (TW)

Very true to the Netflix show, which is maybe why I got so bored with the book because I knew what was coming! A little too much telling over showing especially in the middle when itās less action packed. There was a lot of good world building without info dumping right away which I always appreciate!
