to everyone who told me I would immediately fall in love with these characters: you were absolutely right 🫡

I cannot believe it took me THIS long to get into the grishaverse!!! I was severely missing out on these absolute gems of characters 🥹 all of them are morally grey, have unique backstories, and I would die for any of them they deserve the world

since there was little to no world building, the beginning was a bit slow and confusing, but oh boy did it pick up around 25% 😅 I love a good heist plot - especially with impossible odds - with a motley crew

and can we talk about all of the ships that are sailing? kaz and inej? perfection 😭 nina and matthias? enemies to lovers always gets me pls 🥹 and wylon and jesper? cuties forever!!! 

if anything happens to any of these characters in the next book, I will riot I’m still suffering from emotional damage from shadow and bone pls
