Definitely my favorite book out of the trilogy. The ending was sort of bittersweet.
Not enough Nikolai content for my liking but then again, what is 'enough Nikolai content'? Such a thing doesn't exist. 
Also, Mal and Alina were wayyy less annoying in this one. I actually found myself rooting for them.
