I found the writing in the middle to be disjointed at times or simply flat and perhaps it's because of seeing it from Alina's perspective, but there is no lingering on what happened, were just told this happened, then this happened, And now this is happening without much real exploration of what happened.

The book started a bit slow and entertaining, then Mal got really annoying and I didn’t like the first-person-story-telling too much, as the protagonist wasn’t really having the best perspective. (My critique might be harsh, is this is young adult fantasy and the thoughts just don’t to me anymore) 

Towards the end, I liked it better, especially the last 20%. 
Will finish the trilogy right away.
