I could not consume this story fast enough! Everything that happened had my mouth hanging open and going through the whole spectrum of emotions.Â
Leigh Bardugo is a genius.Â
How much longer until book three though???

However. There are a number of new plot threads that seemed unnecessary at times, and I am honestly not sure how they will be tied up in a probable-but-not-yet-confirmed Book 3... or if they even can be. There is also more gore;
I enjoyed the theoretical aspects; the themes of good, evil, and what you have to do to survive; and the found family and forging of relationships. Who wouldn't go to hell and back for their friends and loved ones?Â
