"You two have a bad habit of acting like fools and calling it heroic." 
 I loved the introduction of the new characters especially the twins. The pacing was a little slow with this one, but the build up to the ending was magnificent. It ended on a plot twist I didn't see coming, but I'm intrigued to see how it plays out. 
 The love triangle has now turned into a love square, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I like that they're not fluffy romances, courtships? but have angst in all of them. My opinions have changed from the first one. The darkling, though a complete psychopath is still the most interesting character of them all, that doesn't necessarily mean I ship it. Honestly, I would rather see Alina be a boss ass bitch on her own. 
 The writing was wonderful as usual, the images this story creates are nothing short of amazing, and I still wholeheartedly adore the world.
