Alright. I finally finished this book. I finally finished reading the Six of Crows duology that EVERYONE has been hyping up about ever since the first book came out. 
 Now, I've already established what I think about the first book. So, what do I think about the second book? 
 It was really good, but I like the first one better because you get to know the characters, get attached to them, and see them grow into a family of sorts. Then, when you read the second book, you see their adventures coming to an end and all of them are planning to part ways and go their own paths. It's really bittersweet. 
 For me, Jesper was the best part of this book. We got his backstory and learned about his parents. Also, Wesper finally happened. dY~S 
 Now, I'm probably going to be the only one who thinks this...but...this book kind of decreased my interest in Kanej (I think that's the ship name for them.) I like Kaz and Inej as separate characters, but...honestly, I became a little tired of Inej secretly hoping that the two of them would grow closer/Kaz would be more open with her while Kaz suppressed his feelings and shrugged them/hers off by saying unnecessary and sometimes hurtful things. 
 The epilogue did help regain some interest in Kanej though. It was really sweet of him to buy Inej a boat/reunite her with her parents. They may not be an OTP of mine anymore, but I low key ship it. 
 Finally, I must confess the reason why this book has a four star rating: I didn't like what happened to Matthias. I already knew what happened to him, but I just didn't know how it was going to happen. I hoped that Matthias would go down in a blaze of glory, protecting his friends and Nina. However, that wasn't what happened and I was highly disappointed. 
 This series was a good read and I am extremely glad that I gave into the hype this time around. 
 I do plan one reading the Grisha trilogy at some point. Hope it's just as good as this duology. dY~S
