NADIE ME DIJO QUE IBA A LLORAR CON ESTE LIBRO MALDITA SEA

Amo con todo mi corazón a cada uno de los personajes, Leigh hiso un excelente trabajo escribiendolos, todos tienen una historia ni uno se siente como un extra y de verdad te encariñas con todos (obvio mi favorito es Kaz) 

"There's no time to constantly be apologizing for existing" 

Está secuela me gustó muchísimo más que el primero por qué siento que se desarrolló mucho más la dinámica de todos como grupo, lo acabo de terminar y ya los extraño 

"She had chosen to live freely as a killer rather than die as a slave" 

Y como desarrollo todos los romances UFFFFF, tengo a mi pareja favorita y no es la obvia,te amo Leigh bardugo aunque me hayas hecho llorar en las últimas 40pgs 

"No mourners
No funerals"

I...wasn't expecting this to make me cry the way it did. The character all still being teenagers is still a sticking point for me--although, props to Leigh Bardugo, she did turn that into a little tongue-in-cheek joke in the book. But Bardugo handles both plot and character tension so well and balances them with each other so evenly that I could hardly bear to put the book down sometimes. My only, relatively minor issue is that, as an Asian person, I found the handling of the Shu (particularly events

around Wylan wearing Kuwei's face

) characters uncomfortable. But overall, Bardugo really stuck the landing with this one.
