I am very disappointed by that ending. Alina for me is deeply annoying and most of her choices infuriate me. Most of the time I can barely stand her inner monologue. She knows that what she’s doing is immature but she can’t help herself. HOWEVER, what is a saving grace for this book is Nikolai and the world building. I can’t deny that the author is very good at describing places and building a while word form almost nothing. As for Nikolai, finally we have someone that has questionable ethics but is very charming.
