Pretty positive this was the fastest I've read a book in a long time.

The storyline of this one has been my favorite out of the two so far.

Alina grew so much in this one, which I was so happy to see. She still had some naive moments but nothing compared to the first one.

I really wasn't surprised though that her relationship with Mal didn't workout. While I would have loved for it to there was no way it was plausible. Especially since she is somehow seeing the darkling. (I think I've figured out how thats happening but I will wait to let you know after I read the third book.)

While we did get new characters I surprisingly liked the majority of them. I think my favorite one was Nikolai, while he is a bit of social chameleon... okay a lot of one. You can tell he is over compensating for all the rumors about who his father is.

That ending though... Just rip my heart out why don't you. Genya... poor Genya. My hatred for the darkling at that moment reached a new high. I loved seeing David come out of his shell finally.

I know that cant be the end of it though. There still has to be more fighting to happen since she didn't get to finish. I am really worried for her though and how she is going to deal with having to potentially relearn certain stuff.
