Shadow and Bone was great -  it wasn't perfect though. . .

But THIS BOOK WAS AWESOME!

-----------------------------------

Characters

Alina greatly improved in this book compared to Shadow and Bone.

Nikolai was the star of the show. His banter with other characters - especially Mal and Alina - was *chefs kiss*

The Darkling wasn't at the forefront of this book but his presence was still there. I don't have a big opinion of him. The only reason I have maybe a tiny smidge of love for his character is because when I picture the Darkling, I only see Ben Barnes. xD
(But seriously all the characters - even the bad ones - are lovable in their own way.)

Plot

Compared to the last book, this one was a little slower, but I went in expecting it to fit the typical slow, middle-of-a-trilogy vibe so my expectations weren't very high. 

Some of the plot was predictable but overall it was enjoyable and moved somewhat quickly. 
-----------------------------------
5/5 Stars! I would read again!

This is a major upgrade from the first one in my opinion. I had a great time. Mal makes me viscerally angry. Alina is less insufferable I actually dig her character a lot in this one. Nikolai carried. One more yessir yessir
