At 600 pages, it could definitely been cut in half—for example, I really don’t think Mayu’s point of view was necessary or added much to the plot line. I did love Nikolai and Zoya, and while I didn’t live for Nina’s pov, in the end I was glad for it. I also loved seeing the crows again, in various ways, though the fact we barely saw Inej gave the distinct feeling of a show having a reunion that one actor was too busy to join. Alina showing up and literally doing nothing also gave that reunion vibe. So it was a little boring but I didn’t hate it. However, the ending gives me hope we will see the crows back in full action again and I am all here for it.
