I completely forgot everything about the Grisha world, but I read on just the same. And, it was still awesome! Nikolai was so freaking funny. There were so many witty dialogue throughout the book. He's such a character, no wonder we have this spinoff. As a King, he actually had a humble beginning, constantly living in his brother's shadow. He wasn't born a King, he earned it with lots of hardship. Zoya, his general, was a force to be reckon with. I think she's the strongest character I'd ever read. The book also went into her background and showed us what helped built her. The other character we had focus on was Nina. There were a total of 3 storylines going on in the end. But, it didn't feel too complex. I only felt a little lost near the end..... The writing was really good and I loved the parts where Nikolai and Zoya group encountered the 3 powerful beings. I could so see that part going well on big screen. On the political side, it seemed like Ravka was peaceful for the time being, and it all depended on Nikolai's ability to keep it together. How long before the darkness gain foothold? I guess we'll find out in the next book.
