Ooh I see why people like this book. I very much enjoyed Mal and the main character and their love story. I also enjoyed learning about the darkling and this entire fantasy world and all that it entails that I’ll continue on with the series because it wasn’t so gripping that I had to know what happens next, but I definitely enjoyed the book and I would definitely recommend it others!! It’s gripping!

This was a super quick read. Especially since I watched the first season of the tv show way back when it first came out, so that helped a lot with the worldbuilding, but I had enough distance to not remember a lot of detail.
Onward with my Grishaverse journey!
