This whole series was full of tropes, but it wasn’t terrible. Entertaining for sure, but I finished all 3 books and still would have rather read it from the Darklings POV than Alina’s. Good YA series, I’d reccomend it to teens looking for an older universe if they liked Harry Potter, Red Queen, etc, but personally maybe dual POVs would have helped because I just couldn’t connect to Alina. The ending was pretty unsatisfying, I just feel like there was more to this universe that was planned but we couldn’t see due to being in Alina’s POV. Not a bad book, I just wanted more depth.

I enjoyed this one a lot more then the rest of the series. It was more fast paced and I was more invested in the story. While I still don’t like the ending it was what it was. I began to like Zoya and my boy nickloi. I like Mal and Alina on there own without there relationship I don’t think it was needed personally. Overall enjoyed this book way more then the rest
