- "'I still have the roll,' I offered lamely, pulling the squashed, lint-covered lump from my pockets." - Alina (pg. 278)
Critique
- Holy shit guys. I just bough the rest of the series for the Shadow and Bone Trilogy. I do not regret this amazing purchase.
- I. Love. This. Book.
- I had no idea what-so-ever what this book was about. I honestly just bought it because of Booktok and my book friends told me to read it. Let me tell you guys, this book was amazing.
- The Darkling? Toxic yet very hot;) I just can't help but be attracted to toxic men (i'm not joking this is a real problem in my life lol).
- The plot twist were just amazing honestly. I didn't even think about it because I was just so immersed into this book. I also couldn't believe I read this book in just two days, like, who am I??
- I enjoyed Alina as a character. She admits that she's fearful especially in the first part of the book. She was afraid to die yet when the book was coming to the end, she wasn't afraid of the dark, of death. I love that honestly. I love how she picked herself up when she thought she had nothing. I just see so much potential in her:)
- As for The Darkling, wow.
- This book was just very enjoyable to read:) Waiting for the next two books and hoping to order Six of Crows next!

Spoiler
I did not see the betrayal coming (even if we don't know he actually betrayed us actually). Like chapter 15 was just amazing. I loved how Bardugo made me as the reader feel naive to trust The Darkling even when we knew nothing of him. I honestly felt what Alina felt, hurt that he was just using her for her power.- This book was just very enjoyable to read:) Waiting for the next two books and hoping to order Six of Crows next!
