Just not for me. I like Nikolai as a side character but not as a main one. Nina is such a good character, but her story was so boring. Won't be read g the other part of this duology.

It was great to see more of Nikolai and Zoya in this book, although I really didn't know exactly what I was in for with this one. My one regret is that I won't ever be able to recapture the feeling of reading this book for the first time.
This book picked up on the best characteristics from each of the other series - plenty of action, political intrigue, heists, twisty plot maneuvering, and no shortage of incredible world-building. The end completely threw me for a loop. I was immediately antsy for the next book to be out. Unfortunately, it isn’t out yet. But the book overall was definitely an awesome one, and it was like seeing friends I haven’t visited and didn’t expect to see for a long, long time. I’m guessing the next one will feel similar.

Ugh, these books are so addictive I cannot take it. Nikolai! Zoya! Nina! Spoiler! Bardugo has mastered her world, and all I want to do is live in it.
