A masterpiece! I had a few problems with the pace changes throughout the book, and I mainly read it for the characters at the beginning, not the plot. At first I really wasn't that interested in what was going on, but with time it got more intriguing, thanks to Leigh Bardugos writing style and Kaz Brekkers genius mind. And though I very much enjoyed how their schemes came together, I also have to admit that I wouldn't have kept going if it wasn't for our crows. I love them so much, with all my heart and soul, so this book was pure happiness but also pain. The lil cameo of our favorite Ravkans was the cherry on top. Kaz and Nikolai meeting was glorious. I would like to give the book a 5☆ rating, but because of a particular outrageous plot decisions I cannot agree with I have to give it a 4.75☆.
