Yeah...no.

At least now I know to avoid this author.


(Inej is, and always will be, the only good appreciable character in this book)


/ Ouais... non.

Au moins maintenant je sais qu'il faut éviter cet auteur.


(Inej est, et sera toujours, le seul bon personnage appréciable de ce livre)

This book is SO GOOD! I can’t believe I didn’t read it before now! I laughed and cried and screamed and that’s all you need to know.

This has to be one of my favourite duologies! It's so easy to get lost in the world and love all the characters. The writing is phenomenal - all of the characters are super well fleshed out and it's incredible how the author Leigh Bardugo can balance 6 perspectives.
