4.0

I was ready to be disappointed after King of Scars but this book really came in clutch and wrapped up the series in a satisfying way.

I will have to eventually riot though, if another Crows book never comes after that tacky tease in the literal last two pages of the book

3.0

Felt like the main plot (with Nikolai and Zoya) was treading some of the same water from the first trilogy, while Nina and Izaak's were doing something new and refreshing. Wishing they had been strong enough to hold up on their own, but no, they're relegated to the B plots. The fantastical elements also become a much larger part of the story, and it stood out from the rest of the series in a way I didn't love.
But as usual with Bardugo, I adored all the characters and will still follow them through to the end of any plot they're given
