I actually read this because season 2 of the Netflix series will be airing in 2 months. I already watch the series and to be honest it was pretty boring but I still like it.

I decided to read the book cuz usually books are better than movies, right? But for this one.. it's a no. The plot was boring as hell. I ended up skimming it without caring if I miss some scenes.

I must admit the world building was spectacular, though I have trouble keeping up with all the new phrases since I'm new to Grishaverse. I have the printed copy of SoC, so I'll probably continue this series. I hope it'll get better:')
