“David is kind of a mess” - Misha
Quote of the year
Misha is my golden little sweetheart. I love him dearly.

Ok I’m sorry but Mal talking to Misha like an older brother is just too much. MY HEART UGHHHHH
I officially love Mal. I cannot fathom why people hate him so much.
And his relationship with Misha is absolutely golden.

I CANT TAKE ALL THIS STRESS!!
MY HEART HURTS
IM TERRIFIED
I ALMOST STARTED CRYING WHEN NIKOLAI...
NIKOLAI!!!!! MY WONDERFUL NIKOLAI!!!
I swear if he dies I’ll burn this book

Ok I’m convinced that this series just progressively gets better. Like you can actually see Leigh Bardugo becoming a better writer with each book. Shadow and Bone was really low key bad but Siege and Storm was great and this one is just building of the success of Siege and Storm. And if you look at Sox of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, those got progressively better too.
I think that’s really cool.

THAT SCENE WAS SO GOOD OH MY GOSH
I LOVE NIKOLAI
AND GENYA
