If you are ever doubting to read this book, go pick it up or listen to it now.

No. Seriously. Read it now!

This is a beautifully written novel. The best parts of this duology is the mind of Kaz Brekker. And I love how leigh bardugo unfold the backstory of each of the crows in synch with the storyline. The


There are so much  I wanted to list down and I guess words ain't enough to explain everything. 

This just became one of my favorite novels

If I could give this book more stars I would. I love this book so much. Such an amazing continuation of six of crows. The themes included are challenging but needed and executed so well. I love the characters so much and found myself wishing I was part of their little misfit crew. I felt a sense of belonging with these characters. Amazing book. I recommend wholeheartedly

I really liked this book it had so much action and adventure while also balancing having in depth characters with deep character development. This book balanced so well and I found I was often on the edge of my seat and wanting to keep reading. This book also intertwined the shadow and bone series more than the last which I liked a lot. You truly never know what is going to happen next, even if you think you do. Well crafted and beautifully written. If you thought the characters had gumption and you loved them in the last book; just wait!

10/10. I loved this book so much. Definitely my favorite Leigh Bardugo book that I've read so far. I laughed, I cried (especially at the end), and I gasped. I love found family books, especially fantasy ones so this was definitely up my alley. Since I'm such an avid reader, I don't usually get surprised by plot points but I loved that with this book, I never knew where it was going next. Wylan, Jesper, Nina, Matthias, Kaz, and Inej will have my heart forever.
