i read six or crows first, and this book was not as exhilarating as that. it was still enjoyable, but i was not on the edge of my seat at all.

mal and alina are very cute together. i’m glad they ended up alive and together .

i feel bad because right after the scene where the darkling and alina go to the dark room and kiss during the winter festival, i was on his side and wanted them to end up together lol. then almost immediately after i found out he’s the fucking villian so now i’m embarrassed i didn’t catch on sooner.

i’m still very excited to read the next two books in the trilogy though. then after i read them, i’m going to watch the netflix series (that just got cancelled which is so upsetting)
