My favorite part is probably the development of the character's backstories and the mysterious untold love stories.
Usually not a fan of adventures but I liked it. The plot isn't too much to be true, and the writing style is humble (that's the way it makes me feel). Just enough, not telling more than necessary, leaving space to the reader's imagination. 

5 Stars!

I have a feeling that if I read this last year ACOMAF would've had completion for my fave book of 2016...

I don't think I am ready to let go! I love this story and these characters so much! What a ride this adventure was. Action, emotions, funny moments and sweet encounters. I will think about this book often.

PLEASE LET ME STAY WITH THESE CHARACTERS LONGER.

I still long to go back in time and read it for the first time again.

My review for this book is the same as my review for SoC, and yet this book somehow did everything from the first book but better. I feel like all of the questions in the back of my mind about what would happen were answered at the end. All the loose ends (for the most part, I think), tied up. Loved it!!

There really isn’t much to say about this. I love Bardugo’s writing, I love the whole world she created and I’m really looking forward to reading her trilogy. Yes, the one that I should’ve read ages ago already… I know! I’m bad!

Sometimes the trick to getting the best of a situation was just to wait. If you didn’t like the weather, you didn’t rush into the storm – you waited until it changed. You found a way to keep from getting wet.


When it comes to the characters, Wylan was just… so cute! I couldn’t help but giggle at all his lovely blushing at times. The way Kaz battles his demons is another part of the novel that I really liked. Inej’s part in it has to be mentioned as well, doh.

But oh, the heartbreak at the end of this book… I won’t spoil a word for those who haven’t read Crooked Kingdom yet. I’ll only say: hold your tissues close and prepare for your heart to be shattered. Mine did. Thank the skies I was in my tent when reading the final chapters so nobody could see me shed some tears.

The distance between them felt like nothing. It felt like miles.


I cannot do anything but give this complete duology 5 / 5!
