I can't believe I ever doubted you, Ms. Bardugo...

I didn't know how I was going to feel about this, going in, but wow was I proven wrong! Such an amazing, interesting story with lots of twists and turns and action...now why hasn't this been turned into a TV show/movie? 

The characters were multi-layered, lots of intrigue with the story, plenty of great dialogue and development. Overall, just a fantastic display of storytelling and the power of magic. (Thank goodness I've got the sequel on hand!)
