I'd read a whole book of just Irina and Melirnous, but unfortunately Novik didn't feel the same way about writing them, and
robbed us by having their final scene be from the prespective of Margreta. No. I wanted either a Irina or Melirnous ending, not the side character. Yes, Margreta and Stefan are important perspectives, but the scenes from them could easily been reduced by 50% and given to characters with a more active role.
