Every now and then I go back and read the lines “He had begun to lean on her, to look for her, to need her near” just to bring myself a little pain.

"No mourners. No funerals."

MY. GODS. This was so good.

If you read my reviews for the Shadow and Bone trilogy, you will see that i thought it was disappointing and that i did not like it much.

With this book is the complete oposite: i LOVED IT. It does not even look like is the same author that wrote S&B. Leigh Bardugo evolved her writing in so much aspects with this book!!

(If Kaz, Inej or Nina step on me i will say "thank you") The characters are so loveable! I liked every single one, even Matthias: he had a strong development and i'm here for it. 

The plot was kinda tense because i felt like everything could go wrong at any moment. I did not had a single crumble of peace. Loved it.

I absolutely adored this book!! The plot was intense and interesting, the world building was excellent, but the characters were what really made this book shine. Each of the characters are complex individuals with interesting backstories and the dynamics between each of the different main 6 characters are very fun and different. The main cast of characters are incredibly diverse, with two of the characters having disabilities (Kaz has a bad leg that he uses a cane for and Wylan has dyslexia), two people of colour (Jesper is half-Zemeni and Inej is Suli), two characters with ptsd (Inej and Kaz), two characters struggling with addiction (Jesper has an addiction to gambling and

Nina becomes addicted to Jurda Parem

), three characters who are LGBTQ+ (Nina and Jesper are bisexual and Wylan is gay), a character who is very religious (Inej), a well-portrayed fat character (Nina) and two incredibly well written female characters (Inej and Nina), and that is not even mentioning how complex and interesting these characters are. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
