I really enjoyed this book but so much happened that it kind of felt like a lot to read and it took me a while to get out of my reading slump to finish it because I kept losing track of all the things that happened. In saying that, that’s mostly a me problem and not a problem with the book and overall it was a good read.

I was invested in the characters so much so that I got quite emotional at the ending, which is always a good sign. I would recommend this duology, even to those who may not have enjoyed Shadow and Bone as much.
