nikolai's the main reason why im so addicted to this book pls I'll root alina with saving the world and all but it'll be sm fun with nikolai by her side (tehee)

and yeah personally this book is way better than the first one maybe cuz i like it when alina became more mature and starts leading an army of her own. having mal by her side didn't help though. i mean, i get where their coming from but its sort of cringy to see them to glued to e/o up untill now. AND  alina has a purpose this time where she could fufil but mal was honestly just slowing her down. not to be cruel but maybe they were just not meant for e/o? although of course from their perspective it'll take a long time to accept that. 

 I'll just hope for the best between the two of them (and secretly hope that alina ends up with nikolai cuz yes)
