I loved this world so much. I read the six of crows duology before, and even though I loved those books much more in terms of plot and characters, this book made me understand  the world much better in terms of magic and politics. I liked the characters but thought that they were pretty flat, especially if I compare them to the characters in soc.
my favorite character was Genya. I definitely did not think the same of her in soc. She reminded me a lot of Gloria Delgado from Modern Family; beautiful and knows it, sharp tongue and giddy/amused. Though I just read the bonus material.... I am pretty excited to find out what exactly is going on. I hope that she remains the lovable character she’s been for me so far.
