My favourite character is Nina, especially her dialogue with Matthias (apparently, I’m pronouncing his name wrong). She’s pretty badass. The book didn’t say whether she died in the end or not though. I think Matthias and Nina are going to have a tragic love story rather than a happy one judging by their past experiences, but this book had a great enemies to lovers arc.

I did get lost a couple times in the midst of the heist trying to comprehend the layout of the Ice Court, but I have a reasonably clear picture in my head of how I imagine it now. It’s probably completely different from how it was supposed ot come across but that’s the magic of books over movies I suppose.

But this was a great book, it hooked me with the first chapter and only got better. I’d like to know more about the Grisha magic system.
