Okay, I lied before. THIS is fan service at its finest. Name a character from the previous series, they're here in one way or another. I LOVED that this became primarily a Zoya book - I want nothing but the best for her so I was down with everything she was given in this.
Dragon Queen! All powerful! Can be both the ruler as a Grisha and also be with Nikolai I guess! Whatever it's fine!!
  Nina's storyline was WAY weirder than the last book and at times I felt like she had really diverged from real Nina. Like, don't get me wrong, I've been rooting for her and Hanne since the last book, but
NINA, married to the future KING of FJERDA??? HUH?? And both of them completely tailored for what, the REST OF THEIR LIVES???? I don't get it.
Loved getting more Tamar and Tolya in this book, they've both been really interesting and slightly under-utilized in the verse but had some really interesting things to do in this. David and Genya got basically nothing real to do in this, and
his death was so pointless to the plot. It affected almost nothing except making Zoya more energized and Genya so sad.
Loved that we got some fun time in Ketterdam with the Crows, no complaints there! Curious to see if this is really the end of the series or if she'll come back for more.
