I want to finish the series before I watch the show so although I'm reading so many books I picked this one up again to read it.

I liked it. It's a good world full of good fantasy. I'm hoping the show follows the same path.

Definitely a worthy entry in the Grishaverse! My one complaint is the “If you kill them you’ll be like me, the villain” trope bc I vehemently hate that trope with every fiber of my being, but otherwise this was good!
