WHY I READ THIS BOOK
I read this book due it was a buddy read on a server I am in, I had read the whole Shadow and Bone Trilogy, which I was not much a fan of, and I am hoping this one is better then the three of them but I this its going to be unlikely.
“No mourners. No funerals. Among them, it passed for 'good luck.”
THE BOOK IN THREE SENTENCES
1. Confusing
2. Matthias and Nina tension for each other.
3. Action packed

THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS
I feel like I am forcing myself to read this book. A 100 pages in and nothing seems interesting to catching my eyes at all. A 100 pages in and I am still trying to understand what is going on, all I can understand is that they had recued this Matthias person from prison. There so many characters that I am not keeping up with who is who. I know there is four main characters in total. Inej is my favorite pov read. As she is a very interesting character to read about. I am on the last 100 pages of the book and yet, again I am not enjoying it at all. Still trying to understand what is going on within the book itself. And I feel that the Girshaverse seires is not for me, but I am pushing myself to read it all, just to simply say I had managed to read it all. The star rate is going to be 2, the reason is because I had read it and put effort to read it otherwise, not my fav.

“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.”

EXTRAS
Part 1 Chapter 1: Everything seems confusing, I am introduced to so many characters at once, that I am not even sure what is happening around me.
Part 1 Chapter 2: || As continuing to read this book all I still see if confusion, as things are quite rushed. Like it's not giving you time to introduce the character perspective properly. ||
Part 1 Chapter 3: || Page 45, A ghost with a syringe? That bit was hilarious. Yet, I still do feel confused, and once again I am feeling like I am pushing myself to read this. I had seen a lot had said after a 100 pages or so the story itself starts to pick up. ||
Part 2 Chapter 8 || So far reading to this chapter, I really have nothing to say, but things are slowly getting interesting so to say, yet I still cannot keep up with the same three to four characters that are on each page. ||
Part 2 Chapter 11 || Page after page this book is being filled up by actions scenes, and I am not sure if I am even enjoying it or being disappointed in it. ||
Part 2 Chapter 12 || Inej is by far my favorite pov to read. ||
Part 2 Chapter 14 || Matthias, just kiss Nina for the love of everything holy just kiss. I got a feeling these two will end up together, the enemies to friend or enemies to lovers. ||
Chapter 41 || Nina is an absolute badass ||

SHORT OBC REVIEW
Finished the Book, here is my short OBC Review.
Once more my high acceptations were squashed, I thought this read would be different then Shadow and Bone Trilogy but it felt somewhat the same or worse. Reading throughout the book, I could not comprehend what is going on half of the time, like a lot of things where rushed like the introduction of the characters and the stories. I had even ended up skim reading most of the parts in the book. I either fear the maybe the writing style of Leigh Bardugo I am not enjoying or just the Grishaverse books. Yet I am hoping at least within the series of the Girshaverse a book is bound to be good.
