i loved this so so so much! the ending of the last book was so insane that i was hooked the entire time.
i love these characters so much. they mean <u>the world</u> to me and i’m so happy Leigh didn’t pull another <i>Crooked Kingdom</i> (although, it was close :’)), because then i’d genuinely just lose my mind and end it all.
Zoya and Nikolai, my loves. Queen and her mans ❤️
Nina and her prince 🥹 i’m so happy for them. i hope they can just live happily in peace forever. they’ve been through <u>so much</u>.
and <i>him</i> pulling the “hero” card at the end?! absolutely crazy. still, i hate him so fucking much.
it was so nice seeing the crows again (even though it was only for like 2 chapters haha) ahhhhh i love my family so much ❤️
the ending, though… y’all!!!! the last page?! hopefully this means a certain duology is gonna have a 3rd book… and with a <u>happy ending</u>, obviously 🙃

Spoilers ahead....
After mulling over this book I've decided to give it three stars.
Leigh Bardugo is a brilliant writer, there can be no doubt about that. She has that perfect blend of literary style, character development and plot. However, I was really disappointed by this book.
Whilst the story was good, I felt like it was rushed and also veered away from the fact that it was supposed to be the end of a duology which revolved around Nikoli. I felt like he had barely any time in it.
The Darklings return was disappointing as was his interaction with Alina and Mal.
That being said, I loved Zoya's chapters and the beautiful descriptions of the world that Bardugo has created.

Loved the idea of this book. However it felt a bit rushed and all over the place. Everything, everywhere all at once - not in a good way. This duology wouldve probably worked a lot better as a triology.
