As with the Six of Crows duology, I preferred this book to book one.
The biggest thing I disliked about this one was the ending. I don't know why, exactly, but I don't like the direction it took some of the characters, as well as Grisha magic.
Nina's story was much more interesting this time than in book one. As she was one of my favourite Crows behind only Jesper, I was extremely disappointed with how little I cared about her part in book one.
I can't wait to see what Leigh does next with the Grishaverse! I just adore it, the characters and worldbuilding are amazing.

Really loved this book! I have to say it was wayyyy better than the king of scars in my opinion. I loved the character development and general badassery of the female characters, the diverse cast and the cameos from the Dregs. My only “issue” was that a new point of view was added that I didn’t love, but I understand why it was there.
