Description: Face your demons... or feed them.

The dashing young king, Nikolai Lantsov, has always had a gift for the impossible. No one knows what he endured in his country's bloody civil war--and he intends to keep it that way. Now, as enemies gather at his weakened borders, Nikolai must find a way to refill Ravka's coffers, forge new alliances, and stop a rising threat to the once-great Grisha Army.

Yet with every day a dark magic within him grows stronger, threatening to destroy all he has built. With the help of a young monk and a legendary Grisha general, Nikolai will journey to the places in Ravka where the deepest magic survives to vanquish the terrible legacy inside him. He will risk everything to save his country and himself. But some secrets aren't meant to stay buried--and some wounds aren't meant to heal.

Starting. I adore Nina, and Zoya is growing on me, too.

I like Nina, too. She definitely has a dark sense of humor. I am still sad about Matthais. Zoya is loyal and ruthless. I feel sorry for Nikolai. He has the darkness inside of him that he can't control it.

Matthias makes me sad, too. I loved him and Nina together. I like Nikolai. He seems to be a good leader.

I agree, Nikolai is a good leader. I don't like or trust the Apparat.

It's been so long since I've read the first books in this series that I don't really remember a lot of what Nikolai and Zoya are talking about. I had to ask my daughter for a refresher since she just read them. I love Isaac. He'd make a good leader, too.

Nooo! (view spoiler)[Isaac!! They keep killing my favorite characters! (hide spoiler)]

Me, too. It makes me want to re-read them.

Finished. I like this author's books. I would definitely need to re-read in the future. When do you want to start ?

I haven't finished, yet. The holidays were very busy. Hopefully I will finish tomorrow.

The Dragons/Saints are cool! I like Isaac, too.

Wow! Just finished. Poor Issac! I'm sad about the dragon. So much deception. I really liked it. Definitely can't wait to find out what will happen next. Do you want to start tomorrow?

Yes!
I loved Isaac! I was so sad.

I'll have the thread up a little later.
