    The charming younger brother became Ravka’s king. Zoya the Stormwitch has risen in power and is now a general. I was swept away by the coils within coils in this story. I loved it.

    This was no doubt my favorite book in the entire grishaverse, it was so well written and had so many characters come back into play it was amazing!! I couldn’t put it down! It made my heart ache in so many wonderful ways, I will more than likely re-read it in the next few weeks. I’m not ready to let this wonderful world go.

    I notice Leigh takes quite awhile to build up the characters and story lines in her books and this was the same, I felt like I was 50% through before anything really happened and almost gave up. BUT then it really picked up and I loved how it all came together + lots of surprises!

  • Love it

    I could not put this book down! The plot, the characters, the cameos, the action, the PLOT!!! It is not very often that I have no clue what will happen next in YA or NA books, but this book had me on the edge of my seat. It truly was the Avengers Endgame of the Grishaverse and I loved every second of it.
