I really enjoyed this book! It really got into the politics of Ravka and Alina’s relationships. This trilogy reminds me a lot of Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn trilogy, but is fun and unique in its own way.

I also liked the fight at the end with the Darkling, it felt very cinematic. My only gripe is that Alina and Mal’s relationship is very 0 to 100, they either are fighting or can’t stand being away from each other. (Though this is probably because I’m just a big shipper and wants them to be happy)
