“She would forever be a bloodthirsty, furious girl, but she might allow herself to be something else too.”
I really wanted to like this series more. It just felt unnecessary. It was trying to do a lot and ended up doing nothing. I like these characters enough, but I feel like we barely got to see them even in a 500+ page book. This book was very focused on the war and the Grishaverse in general and kind of overlooked it’s own characters. The only times I found myself getting excited were when the Crows were in the picture. Overall, I loved seeing these characters again but this series didn’t really do much for me.
