i am speechless, i am emotional. wtf amazing incredible i am shocked, the ending was so satisfying to see pekka be scared so much that he has to constantly move homes with his fear of the crows getting him, with inej about to stab him with the help of kaz unlocking the lock to his bedroom window a power duo!! kaz holding inej’s hand WITHOUT GLOVES…YES I AM CRYING FUCK. also jan van eck can suck it in prison that’s what u deserve for planning to kill the cutest boy wylan, thankfully jesper is there to defend him and read to wylan which is so cute. also jesper’s dad mr colm fahey i love you. now the pain…matthias…u are alive idc u are alive and u did not die to a fjerdan child saying that u are wrong because u realised it’s okay to love a grisha and to not fear them, the character development i’m looking at u leigh that was incredible and how much u wanted to destroy me, chapter 40-43 u gave me so much pain i couldn’t read the words even with my glasses on as my eyes were just filled with tears. the way the last words matthias was to nina and to find peace with the fjerdans and grisha and how they can change to be like him let me sit here and scream, “i have been made to protect you. even in death, i will find a way.” ALSO matthias’s last line saying he is already home in ketterdam with grisha’s surrounding him IS SO POWERFUL BYE. and u telling me the first and last chapter of matthias was about dreaming of nina. u can’t do that to me. nina deserved to be happy instead she was served with a dead matthias which is sad that her power is bringing the dead back to help her fight but can’t save matthias…yes pain. leigh really said let’s give alex pain and kill a crow within the last chapters cause why not but to hurt me and nina. 5 stars, i love i don’t know compared to soc as they are both top tier books especially fantasy top tier that this duology shouldn’t even complete with other fantasy books out there, leigh u win with the crows and their money, also money… kaz buying inej a ship that says wraith on it and then have a showcase on the ship with inej seeing her parents after so many years and FUCK I LOVE KAZ. jesper living with wylan and colm being the wholesome dad he is letting jes live with wylan and can visit the farm and accept being a grisha which hello is awesome with that bullet scene to kuwei (who surprise was happy enough to kiss jes and wylan being a jelly mess) anyways clapping for leigh and her amazing work on this duology that s&b can’t compare thank you, no waiting for s2 of the show :)))
