I tried so hard to read this book slowly because I love the grishaverse so much. The King of Scars duology being my favorite out of all of them and with how it ended I hoped there will be another book.

Leigh Bardugo really knows how to create a world and make characters that leave an impact. Obviously the three characters that this book revolves around have amazing development and the story itself is fast paced and exciting. It’s nice to read how all their stories intertwine and how their development affects the others. Like how Nikolai comes to terms with what he really is, how Zoya learns that she’s allowed to feel emotions and that won’t change who she is and of course how Nina is a reckless as ever and how even from another nation she almost dictates what happens in this novel.


I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to articulate my reviews when I enjoy a book so much but just because I can’t seem to put into words how much I loved this book doesn’t mean it wasn’t great.
