I didn’t super love the Shadow and Bone trilogy but this duology is incredible.

Much suspension of disbelief required to enjoy the elaborate heists. Pacing is all over the place. Dialogue sometimes reads like everyone's trying to one-up each other on the banter and cool one-liners.

i love that the romance is a subplot but for one of the relationships specifically it did end up a little vague - that doesn't bother me since i didn't read this for the romance but just a disclaimer for anyone expecting typical romance-style HEAs for everyone! the characters did start to feel a little caricatural after a while but it didn't help that i read both books one after another whilst watching the show adaptation and i found it pretty endearing if anything. it isn't often that a series offers so much representation without giving me the impression they were written to tick off a box and i am genuinely sad it's the end of these characters (outside of nina + some cameos in KoS/RoW) for now :(
