I enjoyed this book way more than the first! Probably, because Alina was more sure of herself, more badass, basically she stood up for herself. The writing style seemed more advanced, or possibly the situations more severe? This book actually felt as though it had less proper plot, because it was all just basically the same setting for like 200 pages, but I liked it nonetheless. Beginning was intriguing as well.
I liked Mal way more here, but he was such an idiot. I looooved Nikolai (sorry I have no idea how his name is written) and I hope he’s not dead, I doubt it tho. Not going to lie I still think the darkling is so hot, like omg I understand how Alina can barely resist him. Also personal opinion: I HATE WHEN THE MC POWERS DISSAPEAR. like tf? It means half of the next book will be her trying to get it back. Real waste of pages.
