I like this book if only for it being a vehicle to greater things. It establishes the Grishaverse that has only served to get better as time goes on. I will say that the vibes are continually a little off if only because of how weird the Black General is around Alina. I've always had an issue with age differences and this is no exception. There are certain instances in this book that I have literally highlighted in red and blue because Aleksander should go to jail. Alina is still a minor, so ew.
