I devoured all of the Grishaverse books this spring, and thoroughly enjoyed them. Fun stories of harrowing times for flawed but decent people, chock full of sparkling dialog and engaging plot lines. In a few places I felt there could have been more groundwork laid for plot developments; occasionally a solution arrives without much preamble and unspoken or quickly ret-conned narrative. But I didn't care, it was too fun to matter.
