wasn’t a huge fan of this book when i first read it in 2015. i mean i enjoyed it, but it wasn’t a favorite. still not a fan of this even after rereading it, but now it’s all just meh to me.
this book could’ve been better if it had in depth characters (ESPECIALLY from alina and mal), a complex villain, and a clever pacing of the story. the main thing this really lacked was good characterization. however, it’s also very interesting to see how much leigh bardugo’s writing has progressed from shadow and bone to six of crows, particularly since characterization was something that i really love in the six of crows duology. this could’ve been a great book had leigh bardugo written it today rather than 7 years ago.
