I have to admit, I’m liking Alina a lot more in this book. It’s interesting to see her straddling the line between humanity and sainthood, and struggling with it, both a powerful leader and a lost girl full of fears. Mal, too, has been less annoying, and has at least recognized the mistakes that made him insufferable in the last book. I hope this keeps up!
