I'm giving this a 4 because I love the premise of the series, and I hope that Bardugo can pull it off with the final novel. There are SO many interesting things going on, and I think she can recapture the balance of the first book, answer the big questions, and actually explore power, class, racism, sexism, colonialism, and violence in academia.

I feel more attached to the characters in this book than in the previous one, and I love the feel-good camaraderie. I love the discoveries, and the scene in which the main group are forcefully made to see each others' past was super cool and well done. And I will also say that I enjoyed the ending of this book a lot more too. The necessary questions that needed answering in this book were answered and yet still left us wondering for more but not in a disappointing way, but an exciting way. The ending made me worried, then joyful and smiling, and then thrilled at a fun action scene that gets us ready for the next book. Very good sequel overall and am excited for when the next book comes out.

Leigh Bardugo's writing style is so enrapturing and I had an incredibly hard time putting this red down when I needed to do productive tasks.
I loved this story a lot!! My only complaint was that the romance aspect felt a bit out of nowhere and forced. Otherwise, brilliant all around.
