I started reading this book because I'm a Game of Thrones-fan (who isn't) and it got great reviews. I found it quite difficult in the beginning to keep on going because you need some basic knowledge to understand what's going on. Since I'm not able to read a couple of hours a day, every time I started reading again, I had to look some things up (Druskelle? Who belongs to what gang?). But in the end, I'm so glad I finished it. Great characters, great story. Impressed by the world Bardugo created. And that ending, well, now I have to keep on going and buy the next book I guess?
