Reread 3/8/21: rereading before the Netflix adaptation comes out! My original rating was 3 stars but honestly after 3 rereads this book has become such a comfort read that I’m bumping it to 5 stars :)

Reread 2/18/2019: I'm rereading this series before I read CK and KOS because I honestly forgot everything that happened. I'm going to keep my original rating the same but I really enjoyed this reread. It was fun to be back in this world where everything began and to relearn some of what I forgot about how the world works. The Grishaverse is easily one of my favorite book universes, if not my top favorite, so it's really fun to be rereading these.
