Thank god it's over. I can finally get to Six of Crows.

I hoped the Darkling would get a Zuko moment or that Alina would believe in herself and choose no one because tbh none of the potential lovers deserve her. The Darkling only got a hard on for her powers, Mal preferred when she was weak and no one gave a shit about her, Nikolai is debatable but in the end he only wanted a powerful ally.

I'm not mad at the overall ending, just about what happened to Alina. She deserved better.

I know most people like Shadow and Bone the most, but tbh. This one was my favorite.
