Re-read this book despite not liking it very much on the first read — idk what I was on back then because this was actually exciting to read?? This time I WILL complete the rest of the trilogy! This obviously felt a lot more YA than the SOC duology but nonetheless, I enjoyed following Alina's journey this time :o

This story took my heart, played with it, then smashed it into a billion pieces and glued them back together with love and salty, bitter tears. No mourners, no funerals, yet I will forever be mourning the end of all this.

5.0

The best ever. Got even better upon a re-read. Brilliant, unprecedented, heart-warming as much as heart-wrenching (the last one mostly because of Kaz and Inej (mostly Kaz...)). I forgot the dialogue was this witty and genuinely made me laugh out loud. Rare to be at such a loss for words for something I love so dearly. 5/5 would change nothing except the fact that this story is only a duology

4.0

the first 100 pages of this book were the best piece of literature I've read this year (or in a long time), then the story kind of lost itself in the middle (it felt like the author was trying to cram too much facts and reality into such an unrealistic small space) and then the ending almost managed to save the situation.
