Again, I freaking love the crows. This book hurt my feelings and gave me the warm fuzzies at the same time. The netflix show does not do this justice, I promise you. All of the character arcs work together really well and you can tell that all of the characters are growing and learning from each other. Not sure why
they had to kill off Matthias
, but it did make Nina an even stronger character in the later books.

I wasn’t really sure about the hype surrounding these characters after finishing Six of Crows. But this book sealed the deal for me. I love them, too, and the way their stories meet and diverge, the way they have their own goals and their own drive, the way they support one another (or not), and the ways in which their dynamics can change based on who they interact with. Was the plot great? It was fun. Did Kaz save the day just a time too many with a barely believable plan? Maybe. But I don’t mind.

10/10. I loved this book so much. Definitely my favorite Leigh Bardugo book that I've read so far. I laughed, I cried (especially at the end), and I gasped. I love found family books, especially fantasy ones so this was definitely up my alley. Since I'm such an avid reader, I don't usually get surprised by plot points but I loved that with this book, I never knew where it was going next. Wylan, Jesper, Nina, Matthias, Kaz, and Inej will have my heart forever.
