Mal needs to pull his head out of his ass, and Alina needs to start trusting him more, otherwise that relationship is never going to work.
Forget Team Mal, Team Darkling, or Team Nikolai. I'm Team Alina Gets Her Shit Together.

jomannisto's review against another edition
- Started back at shadow and bone because I really enjoyed six of crows, which was my entry to the Grishaverse.
- Became apparent I am too old for this book as I am pushing 30, and the relationships are really written for teenagers who crave the edginess of ”homely girl next door turns out to be special while Toxic Boy #1 is grossly jealous of Toxic But Ancient Old Man #2 And They Fight Over Her. Toxic Boy #1 does not acknowledge that Homely Protagonist was groomed and sexually harassed.”. Great candidate for a problematic twilight phase for a new gen of emo teens
- Mal turned into the whiniest and broodiest little piece of crap that I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing.
- The magic animal trio suddenly breaking the ”only one amplifier” seems tacked on.
