Overall Thoughts:
⁕ Out of all the books in the Shadow and Bone series, this is by far the strongest. I loved seeing Bardugo's writing develop and strengthen with each novel.
⁕ THE ENDING, oh my gosh the ending. It made all the meh moments of the first book worth it.
⁕ I super appreciated that Bardugo gave us more time to know and love the minor characters that weren't as present in the earlier books, especially Zoya. Her inclusion of them makes me even more excited to start the King of Scars sequel series.
