 I've previously read am extended sneak peek of this book - the first 15 chapters / 164 pages / 39%. My First Impressions Friday post about it can be found HERE. 
 Having previously read the first 39% of the book I simply skimmed that part, which was good because there were many things going on that I'd forgotten about. The dynamics continued to be as engaging as they started out to be, which was excellent. There's going to be a minimum of 4 books, so it seems, which shows us that this is just the tip of the iceberg. I think that the story hinted at here can easily spread over four books, but it just depends how it's done. There's a few possible happenings that I've pegged and hope to happen, but I also hope that we can have a rendezvous and they can all go to war together instead of just sort of all flailing about trying to keep their heads above water. I'll perhaps collect these books and read them all at the end. Probably on a holiday so that sleep isn't required so much. Or alternatively I might desperately read each one as it comes out. I'll decide next year when book two is about. 
 Safi reminds me a lot of Sandry from The Circle series by Tamora Pierce. It might be the name, but some of it's personality too. Unwilling just to be a noble, she has a fierce streak that gets her into trouble and an honourable side that wont let her leave people in need. She's in high demand right now, but I'm betting there's more to her - she's just beginning to realise this and I hope she pushes herself hard. 
 I love her chemistry with Merik too and I love seeing it through Iz's POV because she sees things others can't. He's of a similar personality type as Safi and together I'm betting they can make waves. Haha, a sea fairing joke because he's an admiral and a windwitch! I love that it's her eyes that captivate him because they're the colour 'of the sky after a storm' too. For some reason, his temper makes me think he has red hair, not sure why, but I'm guessing it means there's something more to him, which I do hope. Not that there isn't a lot to him already, but so far all these other guys seem to have big futures, I hope he gets one too. 
 There's certainly more to Iseult! Some seems to be known by her mother and I hope she goes and finds her again soon, I hope she doesn't try to go it alone, that's always the way to trouble. She has her own story that needs to be sorted and I hope that Safi can help her with that even though she's a little bit occupied right now. 
 Then there's Aeduan. We're supposed to be on the fence about him I'm sure. Though I'm perhaps a little more on the fence that the facts seem to suggest we should be. I have high hopes for this guy. He better meet every last one of them. And what exactly is with his wounds? We better pick up some back story here! Book 4? 
 Then there's the others, Leopold, Safi's uncle Eron and Kullen... 
 I got a little concerned towards the end of this book and ended up flipping forwards to see what might be happening. Just so that I could go to bed at a reasonable time, you understand...I like that this book follows more than the one character, we get a nice, beefy story that way. This world and it's different regions and peoples looks to be highly fascinating. 
 I'm just sad that they're ALL separated right now. I don't like when that happens, this is a second book break on a massive scale! hopefully it won't be two and a half books long....

 I've re-read this in prep for reading Windwitch. I requested a sneak peek from netgalley and was lucky enough to get it! however I didn't remember as much of this as I thought so I stopped pretty quickly. I'll be going off to read it once I've finished this post however... 
 I knew I'd need to re-read this story as it has so many different layers! I'd forgotten just how many to be honest with you. 
 I had decided to stick to plan A (collect then read the series) but then the sneak peek was on netgalley and I just clicked it...and here we are! So, plan B it is... 
 All these characters have such room for growth and I hope it's good growth. After my adventures in the Grisha world I realise it could go any way (please don't). I'm pretty sure every revelation I had while reading this were ones I had the last time too. 
 There swear there was another element to Safi's power. I must be getting her confused with someone else but I really can't work out who.
