i’ve let this duology sit with me for a bit now, and i miss it. i miss the characters, i miss the plot, i miss the vibes. i will say this book definitely felt a lot more chaotic, but i enjoyed following along to rescue inej, destroy van ecks empire to bring him down but also steal his $$$, and pekka rollins being an asshat. the plot line wasn’t difficult to understand and follow at the time, but now in my mind i cannot remember specific details but i’m not even bothered because i was there for the ride and it was so fun. getting everyone’s back story was interesting to me since i’m a sucker for them.

i grew very attached to all the characters particularly in this book because of their development. i will say kaz is definitely my favourite - the scene with inej cleaning her wound
