Another really fun addition to the Grishaverse! I loved Zoya and Nikolai their storyline the most, and it's just really interesting to see what happens to a universe after the heroes save the day.
It did take me a bit to get into Nina's portion of the story, and I'm happy that it seems like she's going to get with Hanne or at least be open to love again. I don't know, it felt like I would have liked to see more of her discovering a sense of purpose before getting feelings, but that's just a personal preference. I think that her being a hot mess actually is completely in line with her character.
