let's be real: this book was a hot mess. i kinda felt like it'd be like that but i was disappointed to have been proven right. character-wise, i loved everyone's interactions and development. but the plot was so hodgepodge and didn't know what it was trying to do. matthias' death was so... blegh. i was literally deadpanning at my phone because it was so unbelievable and i was like "this is such a shitty death". there were no emotional beats to it. it was the reaction of the rest of the crows to his death that got me to tear up. the pacing of this book is fked up. a shame because the first book was so tightly paced. i really wish pekka rollins was dealt with but instead we got that useless ahh last chapter. kaz's growth was pretty crazy tho coz wow he has a HEART now. and this man would do literally anything for inej ohmygod he freed her from her contract, got her a boat, REUNITED HER WITH HER PARENTS!! LIKE DAMN BRUH. we love. also kaz accidentally calling jesper JORDIE killed me bruh jaw was gaping coz that was unhinged. kaz's "i'd crawl to you" fhdkxnkKKfhdjsk BOOMSHAKALAKA YES GAWDDDD. honestly i don't got much to say here. guess this is the review?
