I read it much faster than I expected though it was a little tough to start. I struggled through some of the beginning but it was 100% worth it.

The shining star of this book was the relationships.
To be honest, I wish Bardugo had come up with a new antagonist instead of bringing the Darkling back (I liked how his death in <i>Ruin and Rising</i> was very similar to Lord Voldemort’s in <i>Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows</i>: it was almost anticlimactic in that it felt like a very final, mortal end for a character that had been essentially immortal), but since we got him, I thought Bardugo did a good job with the ending.
Happy ending meter (no specific spoilers, just the general vibe of the ending):
