"'There is no safe place. There is no haven. Not for us.'
He understood then. The Grisha lived as shadows did, passing over the surface of the world, touching nothing, forced to change their shapes and hide in corners, driven by fear as shadows were driven by the sun. No safe place. No haven."

In 30 pages, you gain insight to how the Darkling started his journey. He really was just a poor, lonely soul, and my heart breaks for him.

A short story taking place during the Darkling’s childhood. I was into it until they tried to make his entire transformation from good to evil about one moment in his life that tbh wasn’t even that bad

"Fear is a powerful ally, but feed it too often, make it too strong, and it will turn on you."

I did not see Annika's betrayal coming, thought of something eIse. Lol. I have to admit the Darkling earned my sympathy here, still not #teamdarkling though.

Since this was about the Darkling, of course it was pretty good XD
And I loved seeing more of Baghra! I really do love her even though she is kind of an unpopular character
