I'm not really sure why I took half a point off except for the fact that Six of Crows was still better. Also, I wish she gave us slightly more information on what happened in the gap between the end of Crooked Kingdom and the start of this one. Either way, I really liked seeing Nikolai's perspective, and even more of Zoya and Nina's character development. I missed them for sure. Also, the world expands so much! It was super interesting seeing things we learned previously be subverted, but not contradicted (Leigh Bardugo would never).
