5.0

This book tests the line between good and bad and the ever-increasing gray area. It explores what it means to be the hero and the villain and the flaws that bind them together as one in the same. The magic system continues to be amazing and the research that Bardugo does for these books continues to amaze and impress me. I do not know how I am going to survive until I have the third book in my hands. Each time happiness looks like a possibility, it is ripped out of existence and it has left me on the edge of my seat, on the tips of my toes, other expressions matching that vibe. The queen of Dark Academia continues to create the most atmospheric books known to man.
