Bardugo's writing is great and she builds a wonderful world that mixes magic and truths about the world we live in. She also creates an amazing cast of characters who are all so different and yet have something to fight for together as the bond, fight and help each other discover who they truly are.
I was personally instantly hooked within the first few chapters, where there were already captivating plot-twists and interesting world building that had me hungry for more, and the whole book pulls you in and makes you fall in love with the characters, and the world they live in! I think it has a good balance of plot and character, with interesting backstories that change how you view their positions, and make you see their actions and thought-processes differently. The characters are very lovable, and there is no 1 protagonist, as we see the story unfold from 5 very different points of view, through the lenses of different culture and backgrounds and also different traumatic experiences.

My three favorite characters had a unsatisfying conclusion to their story at the end of the book, and one of them had an immensely distasteful ending. There was so much wasted potential. The characters? Amazing. The plot? Brilliant- The story? Okay- The content? Get that corn outta my face.
(There's only 2 characters remaining that I kind of like in this book)
/J'ai changé d'avis. Je ne le recommande pas. Vous avez peut-être déshonoré le nom des corbeaux.
(Il n'y a que 2 personnages que j'aime bien dans ce livre)
