![]() ![]() Giving Nikolai time to really grow into his character and role as king, deep diving into Zoya’s development and seeing her not only heal from her trauma of being with the Darkling but the trauma of her life and opening up herself to good things, and even having Nina not just accept and move on from Matthias’s death but proving herself a worthy Grisha soldier and spy, it was what we really needed for these characters. The original Grisha trilogy is her worst work, we don’t have to pretend, and she’s even admitted that there were a lot of things she wished that she did differently and I feel like this duology gave her that opportunity. ![]() But before I get into all that, I just want to say how glad I am that Bardugo decided to write this duology, and while she might’ve gotten the idea for it because of Nikolai’s character, I am so happy to see how it really went beyond just giving his character the spotlight. Since I went in pretty deep with my review of King of Scars, this review will be more of a “what I liked” versus “what I didn’t like” because we all know I love the writing and the characters so I don’t need to dive into that. ![]()
