It was better than shadow and bone ,but it was very long full of world building , politics ,etc. It started as a fast paced and then it got to slow paced. The end was intense and epic but it's not worth that much. Over all i enjoyed the book but it took to long to finish.

Absolutely amazing, but strangely heartbreaking. The plot was elaborate but easy to follow. Beautifully written and a brilliant book. Be ready for the plot twists.

4.5

Overall great book, but I still preferred the first one. It was very slow at first, but it really picked up towards the end. Honestly, I was not expecting that many character deaths. Some of those were a but out of pocket. However, I was really excited to meet many characters and grow some old ones. I particularly loved Tamar and Nikolai. Although I wasn’t particularly fond of Zoya, I still appreciated how Bardugo developed her character in this book. I’m excited for what is to come in the next book as I am still very much in love with the world and NIKOLAI LANTSOV. Additionally, I really appreciated the bonus Genya chapter because she was always one of my favorite characters from book 1.
