Eh I just didn't care about this book. My feelings were pretty much the same as Six of Crows, only more. More boring, more predictable, more mediocre. There were a few interesting elements, but they weren't focused on as much as the cliches. The romance was neither slow burn nor passionate. And I just wasn't invested in anything. I almost gave this book two stars, but it was a quick read and kept me entertained enough to get me to the ending, and I still enjoyed Inej's character. So three stars it is.

I just don't understand the hype behind these books. They're not bad, they just don't really seem good either. I don't think I'll be picking up another Leigh Bardugo book.
