It was slow in the middle. The action was packed in the beginning and end of the book. I loved how the book ended.

I love that Alina and the Darkling are wounded. They need to heal before their final battle. That Alina tricked the Darkling into thinking she’d go with him when she used his power to try and destroy him. I feel bad for Genya. I’m glad she’s back with David though.

I also love how three men are vying for her power (and love?). I want her to be with the darkling or the prince. I kind of am rooting for the Darkling to win the war. Just for the plot hehe. 

Also I hate the lead character lol

Ι love these characters and this story, but I really couldn't handle that amount of romantic drama, at least not currently. Of course I will continue with Ruin and Rising at some point! 

P.S I could write an entire essay on Alina's journey and its connection to trauma

3 hours 36 minutes - This book was too slow paced for me - I felt there was a long section in the middle where nothing much seemed to happen. This book focused a lot more on the political side of war, which was interesting enough, but it last far too long for me. The beginning and the ending were strong though.
DNF - 1 hour 40 mins (182/381) - Going to come back to this later and start over.
