Again I loved this book but I did not like the ending. I don't think Alina should have ended up with Mr. "I am become a blade". I know it ended up being what Alina wanted but it just fell short for me. I really liked Nikolai and his character went through so much between Siege and Storm and this book. I honestly can't wait to read King of Scars and Rule of Wolves, and I am glad his story isn't ending right in this book.

I actually really liked that Mal ended up being an amplifier. Looking back on how Alina originally discovered her power it made way more sense.

Even though the Darkling was evil (and let's be honest he his a fantastic villain), I was still hoping that Alina would somehow save him by the end of the series. I don't normally get sad reading books but even I misted up and his ending scene.

I would definitely read these books again in the future and I can't wait to see what they do with this series and the Netflix adaptation. I've already watched season 1 and it was fantastic.
