It has been a long time since I’ve read a real fantasy book. To put it simply, I loved every second of this book. Even the part that annoyed me I liked because while the plot was important the characters were more important and I liked that. Because no matter how much a character annoyed me Leigh Bardugo still wrote them to be human so I couldn’t help the understand their reasoning. Each character is compelling which is something that usually lacks from a fantasy book.


The plot is also something like I’ve never read before. I loved the concept and the story from beginning to end. I loved the book so much that I’m reading the sequel extra slow because I want to wait to finish it until I have the other books in the grishaverse. The is one book that I would recommend to practically everyone (show included). I think most everyone would enjoy it.
