2.75

tbh the only reason i read this book was bc i wanted to finish the series so i could read six of crows 😭

i really like leigh bardugo’s writing and i came across a LOT of quotable lines throughout the book, but the only characters i actually cared for were mal and nikolai (maybe misha). other than that i would’ve NEVER gotten through this book. i didn’t even care what happened to the plot a lot of the times

although i do like the ending, i have to rate this 2.75 stars ⭐️ probably won’t ever think abt this book again after this series 😭 SORRYYY
