It feels wrong to give a book about the Holocaust just one star, but it's the writing of the book and not Lale's story itself that I'm rating. The writing is very simplistic; the characters and relationships lack depth, and the story is written in a way that doesn't evoke emotions. I expected this book to make me feel deeply, but I felt almost nothing at all. Lale's story should have been written by a more competent author; one that could have brought it to life and not made it fall flat.

Bardugo's writing never ceases to amaze me. The worldbuilding is immaculate - I don't want to find my way back to reality once I get lost in the Grishaverse. As I expected, the characters are amazing too. Nikolai was one of my favorite characters in the Shadow and Bone trilogy, so I enjoyed getting to know him on a deeper level. Nina's journey in the north was very intriguing as well. What surprised me was how much I ended up liking Zoya! I'm excited to read the second book in the duology and find out what happens to all these incredible characters.

I absolutely LOVED this book. The worldbuilding is great, the characters are interesting, the dialogue is both intriguing and fun, and the pacing of the plot is incredible. I can't wait to read the second book in the duology and find out what happens to our Crows!
