Very different to the Shadow and Bone trilogy, but I loved it none the less. I loved how mismatch the ‘crew’ was, and I liked how each of their backstories were littered throughout, rather than getting them all at once.

Though I really want to know more about Wylan, I was disappointed that there were no chapters from his point of view but I loved seeing him from other people’s perspective.

I loved Kaz and Inej, and Matthias and Nina’s real action ships, as well as how different they were. I also really loved Wylan and Jesper’s dynamic, looking forward to seeing more of them.

One thing i really didn’t see coming was that it was Jesper who gave away their plans, and it really wasn’t his fault, he didn’t mean to, but I know Kaz is gonna blame him, and I feel really bad for him, cause it is OBVIOUS that Jesper at least had a crush on Kaz, he literally said how he knew he was nervous when they first got to the Ice Court because he had the opportunity to see Kaz naked but didn’t take it. I just feel so bad for my boy Jes. I felt so bad when he realised he was ALWAYS the only one not knowing the plan/not knowing that Wylan had been tailored to look like the scientist.

I know this is meant to be a darker series than S&B but JESUS. The amount of trauma these teenaged, these CHILDREN, have is absolutely astonishing.

One thing I will say, it got very confusing between them getting a new plan and getting to the Grisha in the Treasury, I just felt it was very hard to visualise it, and the ending came very quickly after, I would really have liked to see how they all reacted when they escaped and how they felt about Nina’s taking of the drug and then getting back to Ketterdam.

Usually, I don’t like cliffhangers, but I felt this one with Inej having been taken by Van Eck just creates high stakes for the next book, which I’m looking forward to. It also opens the opportunity for Kaz to refer to Inej as  ‘my girl’. I love them.

This book is so wondefully writen. It has the perfect pacing and everything is explained and described enough, but not too much that it becomes boring.
Dinamic and fight sence actually feel as if you are there and the adrenaline is overcoming you, a tense sences of negotiation feel like your standing in the middle of it and anticipating an escalting while the clock is thicking.

The characters are so comlex and it feels almost as if they are real. Everyone has their own unique set of characteristics and non of them are defined just by one (even though the book blurb would suggest other wise). For example, all of the characters are around 16-17 y/o who are thrown into very serious situation and so they had to mature much faster, but trough clevery placed remarks or thoughts you still see that at the end of the day they are still kids.

The dynamic between characters is so realistic and relatable, not to mention how organic the romsnce feels.

An easy 5/5 stars book that I would recommend to any (epic?) fantasy lover or anyone who wants to get into it.
