This was the second time reading this book and I still love it! The characters and the way their relationships with each other are written so well that you want to connect with them and invest in their story. The plot of this book still confuses me (I couldn’t tell you what happens in the ice court I don’t really know) but I think the characters are just too loveable for me to care. I particularly love the way (possible spoiler?) Kaz and Inej’s relationship is written and portrayed and the multiple point of view chapter style lends itself to that.
