I liked Leigh Bardugo's other duology, but not really enjoying this one. Its really, really dark. Human sacrifice, child rape, overdose. None of the humor or charisma of the Six of Crows duology. The time jumps and flashbacks are too frequent and too far apart, it's confusing. And also, the narrator is awful; she sounds soft, plodding, whispery, fragile. Is she trying to give mysterious? She should be giving edgy.
