OHH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭😭😭 EUEUYEUEUEE once again I must praise Bardugo's fantastic capabilities in writing a large cast. All the characters are equally engaging, fleshed out, lovable, and realistic. 

Ohhh how satisfying it is to see Kaz's competency tie everything together. AND HOW ARGHHH I'm a wreck over the relationships in this book, romantic and otherwise. God...... the sheer yearning is insane actually. They're so tender and pained and beautiful. They're all do rough around the edges and have so many wounds to heal but they love each other so wholly and tenderly.. even if it's a little (a lot) emotionally repressed in some cases. 

Oh my god I'm a wreck over this duology. Never once have I been bored for a SECOND while reading these books.
