I can’t decide whether or not to read the next two books. I set this book as a goal on a Christmas night shift and it took me 3 shifts. The main character is fine but I don’t feel the need to chase her to the end of the world. I feel the world and magic system is cool but a bit underdeveloped. Like I want to know more about the history and politics of Ravka but I don’t want Alina to be the one telling me.
