to be honest, i liked this book, but you can definitely tell that it was Leigh Bardugo’s debut novel, as the writing isn’t the best.
however, her mind is <u>genius</u> for thinking of this (and the entire Grishaverse). the story and world is incredibly interesting, the characters are well developed and really lovable… for the most part, of course. fuck you, Darkling.
Graphic: Gaslighting

“I’d catch myself walking around to find you, not for any reason, just out of habit, because I’d seen something that I wanted to tell you about or because I wanted to hear your voice. And then I’d realize that you weren’t there anymore, and every time, every single time, it was like having the wind knocked out of me.”
