This book was really good! Though I felt it was a little slow in the beginning. I don’t understand why people say it’s the worst book out of the 3. I feel like it might be the best tbh. The first one was really good but this one was better. There is a lot of development of Alina in this one. Whether that’s good or bad is up to you tbh. She is making a lot of choices and saying a lot of things that we have to figure out if it’s her power or if she truly wants to say those things.
I was so happy that the Darkling wasn’t a huge part of this book. After the first one so genuinely think I would have chunked this book out the window if he would of been in the whole thing. Also we get a lot more of the royal family in this one than the first one so that was so expansion.

Strumhornd being the Prince was such a twist! By the end all I could think was what if he was actually the Darkling? Cause tbh it would make so much sense! Vasyli dying was such a pleasant moment lol I hated him from the second he was introduced! Also I’m so intrigued to see what happens with Alina and her powers. Cause it seems like they are taking over her which I honestly chalked up to the Darkling. But after finishing I’m wondering if her powers and connection to him being out the worst in her?. OMG ALINA AND MAL!!! If they literally break up I am so done with this book! I cant handle that tbh. When she said “I have loved you my whole life.” I CRIED TEARS! Like why would she say that before she tried to kill herself! I should of seen Tamar and Tolya coming but truly I didn’t💀! I was so upset at them! Like damn really??
