I didn't know anything about this book except that I totally fell in love with the cover. And now I'm also in love with all these adorable characters. 🌸

ahhhh I hate Mal and Alina so much but alas. And I have so much trouble getting into the new scenes all the time! Except on the Hummingbird and the last 30%, then it gets good. But That's just because I love Nikolai and the Darkling β€οΈπŸ–€ Poor Genya abd Baghra πŸ₯Ί I'm kinda curious about
shadow-Alina!  Sne was never really into being a hero anyway.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.
Unfortunately I really struggled with the letters. πŸ₯Ί The books have been slow which is okay but here it just gets boring... I'm missing the whimsy and the humour and the interactions between my favourite characters! β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή But I'm excited to start the movies and series now as I've fallen in love with Avonlea. πŸ‘πŸ’›
