PLEASE LET ME STAY WITH THESE CHARACTERS LONGER.

I still long to go back in time and read it for the first time again.

My review for this book is the same as my review for SoC, and yet this book somehow did everything from the first book but better. I feel like all of the questions in the back of my mind about what would happen were answered at the end. All the loose ends (for the most part, I think), tied up. Loved it!!

There really isn’t much to say about this. I love Bardugo’s writing, I love the whole world she created and I’m really looking forward to reading her trilogy. Yes, the one that I should’ve read ages ago already… I know! I’m bad!

Sometimes the trick to getting the best of a situation was just to wait. If you didn’t like the weather, you didn’t rush into the storm – you waited until it changed. You found a way to keep from getting wet.


When it comes to the characters, Wylan was just… so cute! I couldn’t help but giggle at all his lovely blushing at times. The way Kaz battles his demons is another part of the novel that I really liked. Inej’s part in it has to be mentioned as well, doh.

But oh, the heartbreak at the end of this book… I won’t spoil a word for those who haven’t read Crooked Kingdom yet. I’ll only say: hold your tissues close and prepare for your heart to be shattered. Mine did. Thank the skies I was in my tent when reading the final chapters so nobody could see me shed some tears.

The distance between them felt like nothing. It felt like miles.


I cannot do anything but give this complete duology 5 / 5!

I paid full-price for this book. All opinions are entirely my own. I’m not being compensated in any way.

 Loved being back with the same characters as in the first book! Although I’m very pleased with how everything turned out, it felt a bit predictable and convoluted. Some parts were too dragged out for me. Still, I enjoyed the series as a whole! :) 

It took me awhile to devour this world because I don't want it to end. That was a jaw dropping twist to cap off the duology. Take me to Ketterdam. Give us more of the Grisha world Leigh B. Just wow 🙌

5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

only reason there's 4 stars instead of 5 is because kaz and inej, despite not needing to and feeling quite content with the ending regardless, did not end up together (tho i like to think they did in the future)
