Is... is there going to be another book after this. The ending made me think so but It's been a few year since this novel was published.

Either way, I was very surprised by the contents. The way Zoya became Queen was not in the way I suspected. I was also under the impression I think from a tiktok that Zoya had given up her grisha powers to be with Nikolai. I WAS GLAD TO SEE THAT WASN'T THE CASE AND SHE'S NOT JUST MERELY HUMAN. I was so pissed when I found that out but I'm glad it's not what actually happened in the story. 

It was also SO FUN to see the Crows in this novel that I nearly cried every time one of them was on page. I really do think the Six of Crows Duology is Leigh's best work. 

I still HATE how the Darkling was brought back for these novels and how Zoya, at the end, wanted to find a way to release him from his prison like... come on girl, forgive and forget NOT FORGIVE AND RELEASE HIM. After everything that mans has done, he didn't deserve even the tiniest bit of redemption he received from willingly going into the thornwood. He literally said he regretted none of his actions... I agree that Yuri the priest does need a bit of saving but... the Darkling does not.

Nikolai had promised to do better, to build something new. But in the end, all his inventions and diplomacy had come down to this: a brawl in the dirt.

Amazing ending to the saga. Did not expect to cry so much but everything that happens is handled with outmost care. These characters will be in my heart forever
(TW: mention of past almost child marriage, arranged marriages, racism all brief. Other tw are more described but all well handled)

“She would forever be a bloodthirsty, furious girl, but she might allow herself to be something else too.”

I really wanted to like this series more. It just felt unnecessary. It was trying to do a lot and ended up doing nothing. I like these characters enough, but I feel like we barely got to see them even in a 500+ page book. This book was very focused on the war and the Grishaverse in general and kind of overlooked it’s own characters. The only times I found myself getting excited were when the Crows were in the picture. Overall, I loved seeing these characters again but this series didn’t really do much for me.
