— okay this was not bad at all and the writing was spectacular but i did kind of expect more background around his childhood instead of just one specific story about how he finally mastered the cut and the moment he realized how bad grishas have it.

like yeah i get it’s the moment he vows to make ravka a safe place for all grisha and therefore the moment he officially becomes the darkling but i still feel like there’s a more important element missing idk
