I definitely enjoyed this book the most of the Grishaverse. But also reading 5 of these books back-to-back has left me in no desire to read the other two. I've been stuck in this world for what seems like forever and I really wanna read something else now lol

A perfect conclusion to this incredible duology. Following up Six of Crows is no easy feat and this book manages to hold its own portraying these lovable (and deeply flawed) characters as they face even higher stakes. 

It’s rare to find a story that can manage this complex of a plot so gracefully, while also letting each of the wide cast of characters grow into beautifully dangerous people. I’m deeply saddened to let these characters go, but Mostly I feel lucky to know their story at all. I truly loved this book.
