I wish there was more in this series because I couldn’t possibly get enough of these characters. 

I didn’t super love the Shadow and Bone trilogy but this duology is incredible.

Still amazing and now having read the Grisha trilogy first I understand the cameos a lot better. Still don't think it's necessary to read the two series in that particular order though.
