I hate endings where the main character lose their power it pmo so bad. Also i acc dk how to feel abt Mal he reminds me of gale a bit but not really. I liked Nikolai but i get that it made sense for alina to stay at the orphanage w Mal it was a good endings for her character and the ending was sweet

This whole series the plot was js rushed in general idk if it’s bc I don’t like super fast paced books that much but idk js slow down bro
Ngl this should prolly be less than what I’ve rated it but whatevs!

This isn’t really that good a book it’s a bit eh don’t read this if u want to read sm life changing but it was entertaining 

One thing I noticed is that this whole series was quite repetitive-

Like anytime they were safe suddenly the darkling (goofy name btw cringed me out) would appear and then they’d escape it just got very predictable
