| "I love puzzles. Trickery is just my native tongue." OH MY GOD! Absolutely love it. I JUST READ AN AMAZING BOOK! And now, I truly get the hype surrounding this gem of a book. Leigh Bardugo is such a brilliant writer! I love the writing style, and how Bardugo displayed this world bit by bit, brick by brick, flashback by flashback without rushing at once into it with an info-dump. She built us this world at a great pace. Also, the dialogues. Especially the dialogues. Also, Bardugo wrote such complicated, round characters. I love every one of these six, amazing, proper, smart survivors. I loved how confident they were, and I loved them when they had doubts about their success. I admit there were times when it was a bit hard to trust Matthias, but it was great to watch him seeing the holes in Fjerdan's techniques and beliefs, and develop as a character. And Wylan who seemed like he grew up before our eyes. And Jesper's carelessness and sensitivity and humour. And Lovely Nina knows how to survive with her Grisha power and feminine charm. What can I say about Kaz and Inej? *sighs* They render me speechless. I have an urge to write every thought of Kaz about Inej, but I don't want to memorise them. (I want to be able to re-read this after I read 'Crooked Kingdom'. I'm already planning a re-read!) I wanted to say I feel protective of them all, but who I am I kidding? I trust them to survive literally anything. The book has a great mixture of action, humour, drama, and bits of romance. Something is always happening, which makes it hard to put it down once you start. Thank you, Leigh Bardugo. Thanks to everyone who recommended this book. |
