Loved everything about this book! Leigh Bardugo stays true to herself, offering us excellent content which was absolutely and thoroughly enjoyable. Really enjoyed seeing the universe expand and develop under her masterful quill.

 Perhaps the only thing I didn't like:

the whole part with the saints sort of went a bit too far for me. The suspension of reality wasn't as credible, and I feel like we'd entered something that was too strong for the universe created. Therefore, bringing the Darkling kinda back to life wasn't absolutely awesome either.
