OH THIS SERIES WHY DID IT HAVE TO END? The Grisha series is one of my favorite series and I'm so sad to see it end. Shadow and Bone still remains my favorite of the trilogy, but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I know this ending had some a little miffed (I'm trying not to spoil anything for those who still haven't read it), but I didn't mind it too much. I had quite a few SHIPS in this series and I can't say I'm disappointed with who Alina ended up with because I always knew deep down that it would always be that way. 
 As for the writing... it's everything you'd want and more from Leigh Bardugo. The wit, humor and banter is there with an awesome cast of characters like STRUMHOND LOTS OF HIM YES. I'll definitely be checking out the spin-off series. 
 (Also, the narrator oddly enough sounds like Bardugo. Am I the only one to notice that?)
