I'll definitely be continuing with this trilogy. This was a very enjoyable read, with good characters and an interesting world and plot. I don't how I feel about the darkling. He's definitely up with my favourite characters, but he's just so well dark and mysterious (which is what makes him interesting). I hope to learn more about him maybe in the next book. I highly recommend. 
 (view spoiler)[Okay first of all I did not see that twist coming. The darkling is the villian? Dammit. I shipped him with Alina so hard and this absolutely crushed me. I still ship them. I mean I really like Mal and all, but I'm a sucker for the bad boys. Still am holding out for darklina or Alinarkling? Whatever, despite the fact he's kind of a horrible person.. I still ship it. I know some people are with me.(view spoiler)[
