The sequel did not disappoint! I felt so much for Alina throughout this book. Even if she is the Sun Summoner her struggles are always incredibly relatable. I’m always rooting for her; time will tell if I root for her and Mal as couple though. Still highly recommend!

The first book was better in my opinion. The action came early in this book and too much happened at once. The book got better as the story proceeded but I do think that some part are boring and unnecessary for the storyline.

effy's review against another edition

2.5

This was the weakest book in the trilogy and honestly was a bit of a slog to get through. Mal and Alina's relationship just wasn't believable as a romantic one to the point that I had to keep reminding myself that Alina's 

dislike of Zoya was because she was being territorial.

 

I literally finished this book this morning and I am struggling to think what happened in this book. 

I know there was questing for amplifiers, most of the second army dies, Mal is a dick and doesn't listen to Alina, the Darkling and Alina have some chats... tbh, that basically summarises this book in fewer words!

 

The only redeeming thing about this book was that we meet the amazing character that is Nikolai.
