revisiting nikolai and zoya in their own stories, by a much more experienced author... i am overwhelmed. i loved the main characters of this story. recurring characters such as adrik, leoni, and the rest of the triumvirate remain weak and rather unmemorable as side characters.
not five stars because nina's story doesn't really connect with nikolai and zoya's. it just feels like two books smashed together, and even though i was interested in both, the cuts were annoying. i didn't want to put nikolai's story down nor nina's once i got back into it, but together they were disconnected. it doesn't help that nikolai's story branches into two later and the three stories just get in each other's way.
