WHY LEIGH BARDUGO? WHY? I am so heartbroken by this conclusion to the duology. I found myself way more engrossed in this plot than that of Shadow and Bone. This book in particular was great because there was constantly new jobs being done

that all came together in the end in one magnificent explosion of chaos. Also, Matthias' death is something I will never get over. I literally cried during reading as well as later when I thought about it again. That was devastating and cruel ugh.

I am excited to continue on with King of Scars, and I hope it becomes a sort of culmination of all of the questions I've been left with thus far.
