  • i wish they just focused on zoya and nikolai. nina's story wasn't as interesting to me honestly, felt disjointed from the rest of the story
  • i wish nina wasn't made to move on from matthias so quickly — she doesn't need another lover just to overcome her grief
  • also i want to fight the darkling why tf is he back
  • i wish they didn't bring back the darkling. sure its a traumatic event for all of them because he's like... the center of a civil war, but at the same time he was a boring and bland antagonist that i hated with a burning passion
