Bardugo, you broke my heart and I still love you for it. A fantastic book. I loved every minute of it (even the ones I hated).

It is an amazing sequel to Crooked Kingdom!!!! I loved it so much! Te whole book you will just be in awe of how smart Kaz is xD. Also I love the small references to The Shadow and Bone Trilogy here and there. All the characters are so amazing and the plot is just mind boggling!!!! (I don’t know how else to describe it) I had to cry multiple times because of how sad or beautiful the book was. Just like Six of Crows, a must read!!!!
