In this sequel to Shadow and Bone, Alina and Mal are being hunted by the Darkling, who has escaped the
Shadow Fold with an even darker power. Alina joins forces with a notorious
pirate and returns to face the Darkling and rally the Grisha against him. But
as her power grows, she grows further away from Mal, and risks losing
everything.
I read this book in one sitting. It was that good. I thought
the first book gave me feels, but this one had even more! So many unexpected
turns and trials and terrible brushes with the Darkling. And Sturmhond, the
notorious pirate, is possible the most fabulous character ever. I was in love
with him the second we met.
However, in case anyone is curious, I am Team Mal all the
way and was heartbroken every time they grew further apart.
I loved that this book had a powerful, yet flawed female
protagonist. Alina is not even close to perfect, but she still stands for what
she believes in, and fights to save her country at great risk to herself.
